The accuracy of an atomic clock depends in part on the bandwidth of the relevant atomic transitions. Here we consider an ensemble of N atoms whose transition frequencies have been independently perturbed by environmental effects or other factors. We consider the possibility of using the quantum Zeno effect to lock the relative phase of the atoms, which would decrease their effective bandwidth by a factor of 1/√(N). We analyze an example in which the quantum Zeno effect can be used to lock the relative phase of a pair of atoms, after which the elapsed time can be determined. Practical applications may require N>>1 in order to achieve a good signal-to-noise ratio.
