The passage around this formula
This is an exact analytic evaluation of the formula derived above for stated, idealized parameters — not a simulation, not a measurement, and not the output of any code run for this article. It is offered as illustrative, and it carries a built-in consistency check: because = /m by definition of a recoil kick, the same number equals T/m , the ordinary recoil phase used to extract /m in precision atom-interferometry measurements through the general path-integral formalism for atomic interferometry [ 14 ] . The two expressions are algebraically identical, so this is a check that the loop construction reproduces a quantity the field already measures by…
