Enhanced Optical Clock Based on Quantum Matter
Abstract
Precise time and frequency synthesis underlies the infrastructure we depend upon to distributeinformation, energy, goods, and people. Optical atomic clocks have made tremendous progressesover the recent years, and they have emerged as the most precisely engineered measurementdevice ever built by mankind. Our laboratory has recently developed a strontium optical latticeclock with a total uncertainty at the 2x10-18 level [1,2,3]. Despite impressive performance,optical atomic clocks still have headroom to both improve its fundamental limit and reachdesired practical performance.
