It’s clock time again on Hackaday, this time with a lovely laser-cut biretrograde clock by [PaulH175] over on Instructables. If you’ve never heard of a ‘biretrograde clock,’ well, we hadn’t either.
Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the ...
Chip-scale laser controls trapped ions for quantum clocks and qubits, enabling portable, scalable systems with high fidelity ...
Developers used shallow “web” of laser light to trap atoms, instead of previous optical lattice. The red dot is a reflection of the laser light used to create the atom trap. Enabling pinpoint ...
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 ...
Established as a provider of high-end lasers and laser rack systems, Toptica has this week announced at LASER world of Photonics that is offering its first complete quantum technology solution: a ...
Scientists in the Riccio College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of California ...
Researchers from Los Angeles, Munich, and Mainz open new avenues for nucleus-based quantum technologies A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian ...
Phase-coherent lasers are crucial for many precision tasks, including timekeeping. Here on Earth the most stable optical oscillators are used in e.g. atomic clocks and many ultra-precise scientific ...
“The fact that these results were achieved with the SET at room temperature is remarkable given the precision of the ...
