Revolutionary Time Measurement Method Discovered by Physicists
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ScienceAlert
Researchers from Uppsala University have discovered a new method of measuring time using the interference patterns of Rydberg wave packets, which are created when atoms are excited to high energy states by lasers. This approach does not require a defined starting point, allowing for precise time measurement at the quantum scale. The technique could enhance quantum computing and other technologies by providing reliable quantum timestamps for events occurring in mere trillionths of a second.
