For years, physicists have been trying to design clocks that can measure tiny durations of time with extreme precision. Quantum clocks, in particular, have pushed the boundaries by using the strange ...

A new study published in Nature Physicsreveals a significant breakthrough in quantum timekeeping, challenging a long-held assumption about the link between energy consumption and clock accuracy.

Scientists built a tiny clock from single-electron jumps to probe the true energy cost of quantum timekeeping. They discovered that reading the clock’s output requires vastly more energy than the ...

How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...
