  • Abstract
    This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in respect of both cold atom and cold ion standards, contrasting the similarities and differences in each approach. Potential limiting stabilities and systematic frequency uncertainties will be outlined. It is intended to provide a backgound for the following papers within the two EFTF optical frequency standards and measurement sessions.
