b=vrT=2.947 mmb=v_rT=2.947\,\mathrm{mm}

Why this formula appears here

The Galilei loop admits an exact, non-simulated numerical check of the whole chain, because Φ\Phi[LG\mathcal L_{\rm G}] is precisely the recoil phase every stimulated-Raman atom interferometer already uses for its own calibration. Take a sodium atom, m=3.8175×\times10^{-26}\,kg\mathrm{kg} , driven by a two-photon stimulated-Raman transition on the 589\,nm\mathrm{nm} line, effective wavevector keffk_{\rm eff}=2(2π\pi/589\,nm\mathrm{nm})=2.1335×\times10^{7}\,m−1\mathrm{m^{-1}} [ 16 ] . The associated recoil velocity is vrv_r=ℏ\hbar keffk_{\rm eff}/m=5.894\,cm s−1\mathrm{cm\,s^{-1}} . Hold the loop open for T=50\,ms\mathrm{ms} , comparable to the short interrogation times of early stimulated-Raman interferometers, so the…

The Clock That Comes Back Wrong by Exactly Its Mass

This equation states an equality: the expressions on both sides have the same value under the article’s assumptions.
