Today’s state-of-the-art optical clocks offer accuracy to 18 decimal places, which is roughly equivalent to measuring the ...

JILA team has now built the super-radiant design based on strontium atoms that it first proposed four years ago. A team of researchers at a laboratory affiliated with the US National Institute of ...

A team of physicists in the US has reported that an atomic clock based on laser tweezers offers some “unique possibilities” for a future generation of super-precise timepieces. Demonstrated at JILA ...

MADISON – University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever, they announced Feb. 16 in the journal Nature. ­­ Their instrument, known as an optical ...

JILA physicists have demonstrated a novel laser design based on synchronized emissions of light from the same type of atoms used in advanced atomic clocks. The laser could be stable enough to improve ...
