Quantum timekeeping is supposed to be the ultimate in efficiency, with tiny devices that tick using the rules of quantum mechanics instead of swinging pendulums or vibrating quartz. Yet new work on a ...
A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of measurement itself. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists ...
The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...
If you can read a traditional analog clock then congratulations, you’re smarter than artificial intelligence. AI is proving to be good at a lot of things, but reading an old-fashioned clock is not one ...
The steady tick of a clock usually feels simple and dependable. Something swings or vibrates in a controlled rhythm and marks the passing of each moment. What you rarely notice is the hidden cost ...
