Secret lab developing UK’s first quantum clock, says defence ministry
- A top-secret lab in the UK is developing the country's first quantum clock to help the British military boost intelligence and reconnaissance operations, the Defence Ministry said on Jan 2.
- The clock is so precise that it will lose less than one second over billions of years, allowing scientists to measure time at an unprecedented scale, the Ministry said in a statement.
- The groundbreaking technology by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory will reduce reliance on GPS technology, which can be disrupted and blocked by adversaries, the Ministry added.
- It is the first device of its kind to be built in the UK, the statement said, adding it could be deployed by the military in the next five years.
