Superradiant atoms could push the boundaries of how precisely time can be measured
Superradiant atoms can help us measure time more precisely than ever. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen present a new method for measuring the time interval, the second, mitigating some of the limitations that today’s most advanced atomic clocks encounter. The result could have broad implications in areas such as space
Springing simulations forward with quantum computing
Though “coupled oscillations” may not sound familiar, they are everywhere in nature. The term “coupled harmonic oscillators” describes interacting systems of masses and springs, but their utility in science and engineering does not end there. They describe mechanical systems like bridges, the bonds between atoms, and even gravitational tidal effects between the Earth and the
