On Monday, June 16, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists hosted in real-time an online analysis of the rapidly evolving situation between Israel and Iran. Here is what the experts said.
A new study published in Nature Physicsreveals a significant breakthrough in quantum timekeeping, challenging a long-held ...
Timekeeping just got a quantum upgrade. A new quantum clock uses wave-like motion to tell precise time with minimal energy loss.
Abstract: The frequency stability of an atomic fountain clock was significantly improved by employing an ultra-stable local oscillator and increasing the number of atoms detected after the Ramsey ...
New Oscilloquartz models bring advanced optical pumping technology to telecom, defense, data center and metrology networks Adtran’s unique cesium clock solutions deliver longer service life and ...
The new models also address industry demand for alternatives to legacy magnetic cesium clocks that are more difficult to manage over time.
Abstract: We report on measurements of frequency shifts in a high-performance microwave cesium vapor cell atomic clock based on coherent population trapping (CPT). The dependence of the clock ...
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 on them for GPS location ...
Chelsea try their hardest to keep the ball in Nottingham Forest’s area after a corner kick. In one such effort the ball falls to Pedro Neto who runs to the near post and lays it off to Levi ...
Editor’s note: This essay is part of a collection of appreciations of Dick Garwin. The last time I saw Dick Garwin was May 6, just a week before his passing. He, as usual, had joined a regular weekly ...
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 ...
