"...it’s about using time to explore the microscopic and macroscopic side of the universe in new ways." Wow!
Researchers led by JILA and NIST Fellow Jun Ye have shown how to make atomic clocks even more precise by leveraging entanglement. This allows the atoms to “tick” more in sync, reducing the randomness that usually limits how precisely we can measure time.
