Why have just one technological breakthrough when you can have two at the same time? The Royal Navy has installed for the first time a quantum clock into its XV Excalibur robotic submarine for ...

Every time you check the time on your phone, make an online transaction, or use a navigation app, you are depending on the precision of atomic clocks. Scientists are developing next-generation atomic ...

Researchers at MIT say they have discovered a way to double the precision of optical atomic clocks by quieting the quantum noise that clouds their ticking.… Atomic clocks keep time by monitoring the ...

In the past week, Infleqtion announced it will host an NVIDIA NVQLink-enabled quantum supercomputing system at the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park and revealed the successful deployment of ...

Atomic clocks, which power GPS, online transactions, and data networks, just became more precise. MIT physicists have developed a technique that doubles the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by ...

On May 2, 2011, a US Navy SEAL helicopter soft-crashed into the side of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Within the hour, bin Laden was identified and assassinated. The world’s most ...

Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...

Nobel laureate Arthur Schawlow’s advice to “never measure anything but frequency” is a central principle of modern precision metrology and timekeeping. Today’s spectroscopy is advanced enough to teach ...

IonQ, a quantum computing technology company, has finalized the acquisition of quantum sensing firm Vector Atomic. IonQ said Tuesday the all-stock transaction enhances its position as a full-spectrum ...

Throughout history, humans have always searched for ways to predict the future. AI is just the latest tool to try to predict how humans will behave. While some believe that predictive tools can be ...

The days of mid-afternoon sunsets are almost upon us as winter draws nearer. A few days after Halloween, most of the US will be moving the clocks backward one hour. Daylight saving time ends on Nov. 2 ...
