The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these ...

Quantum sensors could enable resilient U.S. PNT within a few years—but only if America continues to develop and deploy the ...

A new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder is helping researchers count seconds to ...

Having generated almost US$30 million in revenue last year and backed by a customer pipeline topping US$200 million, Infleqtion will use this investment to scale its atom-based quantum platforms and ...

Their findings were published in the journal Nature. The world currently measures time using atomic clocks, but a new development—nuclear clocks—could revolutionize timekeeping and enhance the ...

There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS location, Internet timing,... To explore deep space, we'll need better clocks.

A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, researchers say — and after years of development, the “fountain”-style clock is now in use helping keep official U.S. time.

The resulting atomic clocks that set official international times today are astonishingly robust, losing only about one second every 100 million years. Physicists have been trying for decades to ...

FOR THE discerning timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. Whereas the best quartz timepieces will lose a millisecond every six weeks, an atomic clock might not lose a thousandth of one in a decade.

"Atomic clocks use quantum mechanics to measure time, while quantum computers use quantum mechanics to perform calculations," Endres says. "Here, we are working at the interface of both." ...

Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a transparent crystal when hit by a laser beam could yield the most accurate measurements ever of time and gravity, and even ...
