New atomic clock breaks record for world’s most accurate
As the world considers redefining the precise length of a second, Singapore’s Centre for Quantum Technologies has delivered a new contender for the ultimate master timekeeper.Continue ReadingCategory: EngineeringTags: Atoms, Clock, Time, National University of Singapore, Optics
Researchers in Singapore have built an atomic clock that, according to their measurements, is more accurate than any other atomic clock in the world. The clock at the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore operates with a single charged atom of the metal lutetium and deviates by a second only after 300 billion years.
Time measurement at the limit: Researchers in Singapore have built two optical atomic clocks from individual Lutetium ions, whose systematic relative uncertainty is only about 1 × 10−19. In direct comparison, the independent systems agreed after 200 hours of measurement up to 5.7 × 10−19. Thus, the evaluated uncertainty is four times lower than the previous record values.
