Scientists Invent a 'Quantum Watch', a Mind-Bending New Way to Measure Time
Via vice.com... .. www.vice.com The quantum watch is fully 'quantum mechanical in its nature' and 'effectively has no sources of systematic error,' scientists say.... ...
Mmm, reading the article half awake at 6am was a mistake 😀
However, it is interesting how she describes the difference between a clock and a watch. Thx for sharing, Dirk
Amazing!
I'd buy one in a heart beat. The field of quantum mechanics is extremely interesting.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me
About how these two statements can both be accurate... "different type of “quantum watch” that "does not require an initial “time zero” reference point to make its time measurements" "These fingerprints determine how much time has passed since the wave pa...
Great point.
It does appear somewhat contradictory when you look at it from that perspective. Perhaps the answer, from their viewpoint, lies in what the quotation below addresses regarding these being interference patterns that never repeat during the lifetime of the ...
I read the Phys Rev paper. The authors..
Are just using the term watch to differentiate it from clock. This apparatus is not going to fit on a wrist now, if ever.
