A top-secret lab in the UK is developing the country's first quantum clock to help the British military boost intelligence.

Ground-breaking quantum technology will be used by the armed forces to conduct more secure and precise operations.

With access to a 10-MHz timebase from a cesium fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the ...

atomic clocks are used to time nanosecond delays in the arrival of signals from different satellites and to make adjustments to the calendar year. Similarly, digital wristwatches are used to time ...

That was back in 2001, when he and his colleague Christian Tamm proposed a device with the potential to be even more precise and portable than the world’s best atomic clocks. Peik’s estimate ...

Troops on military operations will soon be able to use a British-made atomic clock built with quantum technology instead of GPS for the first time. The quantum clock, which in the next five years ...

But the River Thames is perhaps the choice for the most special deliveries - including an optical atomic clock. A flotilla of 15 boats, led by royal barge Jubilant, has carried the extremely ...
