Popis:	Synchronously driven optically pumped atomic oscillators have been used to measure the electric-dipole moment of $^{199}\mathrm{Hg}$ as a test of time-reversal symmetry. Our result, d${(}^{199}$Hg)8.7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}28}$e cm, is the smallest experimental limit on the size of an electric-dipole moment and sets stringent bounds on several sources of time-reversal symmetry violation in atomic systems. This article describes the details of the experimental apparatus, the measurement procedure, and the implications of the result for CP violation in elementary particle interactions.
