The passage around this formula
…The laser/center-of-mass term for a single-photon transition near 698\, ( 9.0010^6\, ) scales as g8.810^{7}\, for T=1\, . The recoil term for a strontium-mass atom ( m1.44310^{-25}\, ) scales as T/m5.910^{4}\, . The clock term computed above is 0.29\, . Both confound terms are, respectively, roughly eight and five orders of…
