A chip that keeps time (almost) like an atomic clock
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...
Researchers demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks without ...
There are significantly different architectures for what are known as “atomic” clocks. Optically driven atomic clocks offer a new set of performance attributes. The optical atomic clocks use paired ...
