In an optical atomic clock, atoms are irradiated with laser light. If the laser has exactly the right frequency, the atoms change their quantum mechanical state. All external influences on the atoms ...
Here’s a new take on the QR clock concept that uses an LCD display. The concept comes from the work [ch00f] put into his two versions of a QR clock (both of which used LED arrays). The time of ...
The concept promises a new generation of highly stable and accurate optical ion clocks. It is also applicable to other types of ions and opens up new opportunities for entirely new clock concepts ...
