A solid-state nuclear clock has a great potential to become a robust and portable timing device that is highly precise.
An optical lattice clock embedded in the curved spacetime formed by the earth’s gravity. Dynamical interplay between photon-mediated interactions and gravitational redshift can lead to ...
Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka ... the 1893 Columbian Exposition, image from Scientific American ...
The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that ...
Optical atomic clocks have the potential to improve timekeeping and GPS accuracy by a factor of 1,000, enhancing the ...
His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware ... frequency counters so he went with logic chips. The pictures and a few video annotations are the only clues ...
The satellites that make the GPS in your car and smartphone work consist of many atomic clocks. About 400 such atomic clocks are currently operational, providing real-time locations that are ...
However, to build a precise clock, researchers must fully characterize how the transition responds to external conditions, ...
