Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical ...
DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct, it does ...
Daylight saving time in 2025 continues for several more weeks, before clocks will finally shift back to standard time at 2 ...
Rising precision demands and GPS/GNSS vulnerabilities are driving the urgent need for secure, reliable synchronization Adtran’s new OSA 3300 Super HP and OSA 3350 Super ePRC+ meet the need for ...
It's Memorial Day, Short Wavers. This holiday, we bring you a meditation on time ... and clocks. There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend ...
The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...
Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...
At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...
How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...
