Strontium Atomic Clock Sets New Records in Both Precision and Stability

by National Institute of Standards and Technology

Heralding a new age of terrific timekeeping, a research group led by a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) physicist has unveiled an experimental strontium atomic clock that has set new world records for both precision and stability—key metrics for the performance of a clock.

NIST Ytterbium Atomic Clocks Set Record for Stability

by National Institute of Standards and Technology

A pair of experimental atomic clocks based on ytterbium atoms at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has set a new record for stability. The clocks act like 21st-century pendulums or metronomes that could swing back and forth with perfect timing for a period comparable to the age of the universe.

Researchers Discover Atomic Clock Can Simulate Quantum Magnetism

by National Institute of Standards and Technology

Researchers at JILA have for the first time used an atomic clock as a quantum simulator, mimicking the behavior of a different, more complex quantum system.
