An almost dissipation-free quantum clock. The idea for this new kind of clock came out of a meeting at the Quantum Thermodynamics Conference in Vienna in 2023.

For now, this technical skirting of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is only theoretical. However, the authors note that this idea could be tested using modern superconducting circuits. If the ...

Quantum clocks break energy limits, unlocking ultra-precise timekeeping with far-reaching tech, AI, and navigation impacts.

“The Optical Quantum Clock uses an ytterbium ion as its reference and our new system builds closely on our previous ...

Theories about space and time have always been the great misunderstood ones for the general public, but one of the great ...

Like second and minute clock hands "So we have a fast process that does not cause entropy—quantum transport—and a slow one, namely the arrival of the particle at the very end," explains Yuri ...

A festinating new theory shifts focus from space to time, arguing the clock-ticking we take for granted is richer and weirder ...
