Quantum pendulum clock overcomes classical accuracy limits and sheds light on quantum to classical transitions

In a grandfather clock, a pendulum swings back and forth and this periodic motion is maintained using the energy stored in its suspended weights. This is done with the help of the escapement mechanism ...

First quantum grandfather clock could probe where gravity comes from

The first complete design for a quantum grandfather clock uses a single atom, tiny mirrors and light. Building it could help our understanding of what makes any clock accurate in the quantum realm and ...

Using atomic nuclei could allow scientists to read time more precisely than ever

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions. To build a clock, you need something that ticks in a perfectly repeatable way.
