Physicists to look for quantum time dilation inside nuclear reactor

We’re all too familiar with the inexorable march of time, but why exactly it flows in one direction remains a mystery of physics. A few years ago Australian physicist Joan Vaccaro proposed a new quantum theory of time, and now a team is planning to tes… Continue reading Physicists to look for quantum time dilation inside nuclear reactor

Quantum-entangled atomic clock keeps spookily accurate time

Atomic clocks are the most precise timekeepers we have today, with the best ones keeping time to within one second in 15 billion years. But there’s always room for improvement, as researchers at MIT have now demonstrated with a new quantum-entangled at… Continue reading Quantum-entangled atomic clock keeps spookily accurate time
