Oscilloscopes are the workhorse instruments for time domain measurements. Most current digital oscilloscopes include about twenty-five built in measurement parameters as a standard complement. Adding ...
Measuring time might not seem like that complex of a thing. After all, we rely on simply counting seconds between the "then" and the "now." But when you really start to break time down to the quantum ...
Accurate measurement of time is one of the glories of physics, and one of the most exciting frontiers of current research. For most of history, people measured time using the sun and moon. Earth’s ...
From the beginning of the universe to the present day, time is one of the few things we regard as regular and unchanging. Time works by measuring periods between the past, present and future. But that ...
Tick tock tariff: A wiggling "nano-clock" reveals the entropic cost of measuring time. (Courtesy: Natalia Ares) Imagine the sound of a ticking clock. How much time passes between each tick? For a good ...
Controllable arrays of ions and ultracold atoms can simulate complex many-body phenomena and may provide insights into unsolved problems in modern science. To this end, experimentally feasible ...
