Abstract The world around us depends on devices capable of producing or maintaining a signal with an extreme precision. Quantum frequency standards are the answer to this problem. This article presents a modified version of newly developed quantum frequency standard based on trapping Hg-199 ions by magnetic field. The new prototype was developed a while ago and now it was modified due to algorithm improvements and renewed digital hardware, analog and digital circuitry being reordered. Results for Allan deviation show 3 % improvement for long-term frequency stability and more than 5 % for short-term stability

The latest changes in the algorithm for the formation of the international atomic time scale TAI are reported in terms of estimating the weights of the clocks involved in the formation of TAI. Studies of the characteristics of the long-term instability of new-generation hydrogen masers based on processing the results of the clock frequency difference with respect to TAI are performed. It has been confirmed that at present, new-generation hydrogen masers show significantly less long-term instability in comparison with quantum frequency standards ofsimilar and other types.

Abstract The article discusses the main disadvantages of the current design of a quantum frequency standard based on rubidium-87 atoms. The main disadvantages of the current design of the quantum frequency standard on rubidium-87 atoms are considered. It is noted that the processes associated with light shifts in the optical part contribute to the greatest instability in the long-term operation of the quantum frequency standard. A solution is proposed to improve the design of the rubidium standard. A forecast for improving its metrological characteristics is presented. The results of experimental investigations are presented.

Continuous wavelet transform is used to analyze the operation of a non-stationary signal of a quantum frequency standard. The method of translational transfer is proposed, with the help of which the boundary phenomena in this transformation are eliminated. The spectral integrals of the quantum frequency standard signal in various frequency ranges are calculated. A wavelet dispersion is introduced, which makes it possible to determine the moments of time when the signal fluctuations are the strongest. The comparison of the wavelet variance with the usual variance and with the Allen variance is carried out.
