An Arizona-based company has launched its next generation of low-noise Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC). Microchip's model SA65-LN is designed to operate in a wider temperature range, enabling low-phase ...

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

Atomic clocks and frequency standards represent the pinnacle of precision timekeeping technology. By harnessing the natural oscillatory behaviour of atoms, these devices deliver unparalleled accuracy ...

A research team at VTT MIKES has set a new record in optical-clock absolute frequency measurements using a strontium ...

This particular clock is technically an ion clock, which is different from the more common atomic clocks that are based on measuring the resonant frequencies of a single cesium atom to regulate time ...

Quantum timekeeping is supposed to be the ultimate in efficiency, with tiny devices that tick using the rules of quantum ...

Inside a laboratory nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, amid a labyrinth of lenses, mirrors, and other optical machinery bolted to a vibration-resistant table, an apparatus resembling a ...

The next generation of atomic clocks “ticks” at the frequency of a laser. That is around 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the caesium clocks that currently generate the second.

To measure time, you need a constant rhythm. For eons, the regular movements of the sun and moon have set the pace for all of life on Earth. But over millennia, humans have sought and found more ...

What we’re able to do is divide the same length of time into smaller and smaller units, Adam Kaufman described, speaking to how entanglement sharpens the tick of optical atomic clocks. That one line ...
