Atomic clocks, the paragon of precision time measurement, might soon become even more accurate thanks to a quantum process ...

Why Trust Us? Scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder have created an atomic clock using lasers and strontium atoms that’s incredibly accurate—only losing one second every 40 ...

The great-grandson of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr has developed a method to make atomic clocks significantly ... in which entangled atoms emit light together under certain circumstances.

With access to a 10-MHz timebase from a cesium fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the ...

We normally think of atomic ... Optical clocks such as the aluminum ion, ytterbium, and strontium clocks have much higher resonance frequencies, high enough to be in the spectrum of light.
