Atomic clocks could catch time going quantum, measuring ticking that goes faster and slower at the same time
About a decade ago, physicists put forward a theory that proposes how to investigate the quantum nature of time. It can be ...
QXL’s strategy and approach aims to bring laboratory-grade performance into deployable and potentially commercial ready solutions across all its spectrum of quantum technologies portfolio.
Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...
(THE CONVERSATION) Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions. To build a clock, you need something that ticks in a ...
In Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, the concept of “time dilation” illustrates that the flow of time is ...
China has taken a significant step in high-precision timekeeping by mass-producing a fingernail-sized chip-scale atomic clock ...

A hobbyist mounted a cesium atomic clock on his Raspberry Pi
A hobbyist who blogs as Chip Overclock wasn't satisfied with his GPS-disciplined desk clock. The Raspberry Pi inside it kept time within microseconds of UTC, but only when GPS satellites were ...
Nuclear effect The deformed shape of the ytterbium-173 nucleus (right) makes it possible to excite the clock transition with a relatively low-power laser. The same transition is forbidden (left) if ...
