Abstract
Laser cooling has dramatically shifted the relative importance of various systematic errors of fountain clocks relative to beam clocks. Optimizing the performance of fountain clocks will demand shot-noise limited detection of a large number of atoms and possibly spin squeezed atomic states. Fountain clocks also enable a novel quantum atom-optics precision scattering measurement.
