Precision equipment manufacturer Shimadzu Corp. said it has created the world’s most accurate time device: a clock that won’t ...

Quantum systems are known to be prone to dissipation, a process that entails the irreversible loss of energy and that is ...

Optical lattice clocks, the pinnacle of timekeeping, are key to exploring the relationship between quantum mechanics and ...

Accurate frequency measurements of a narrow optical clock transition in 171 Yb atoms trapped in an optical lattice establish this system as a serious contender in the quest to develop increasingly ...

I would have guessed two meters high from photo. The boxes in the middle with the controls must be very small, much smaller than audio equipment, for example. If I bought one, I'd have the world's ...

There is a clock called the "optical lattice clock." First, each atom cooled by laser is captured in a 3-D micro space (optical lattice), which is created by interference of laser beams with special ...

Optical lattice clocks have previously been installed in Tokyo’s famous Skytree to test the general theory of relativity, which states that “time flows more slowly in places with strong ...

Achieving superior optical anisotropy requires identifying functional groups with strong polarizability anisotropy and optimizing their arrangement in the crystal lattice. To address this ...
