Show affiliationsWe demonstrate the critical subsystems of a compact atomic clock based on a microfabricated physics package. The clock components have a total volume below 10 cm3, a fractional frequency instability of 6 × 10−10/τ1/2, and consume 200 mW of power. The physics package is easily adapted to function as a magnetometer with sensitivity below 50 pT Hz−1/2 at 10 Hz.
