What is an atomic clock and how does it work?

An atomic clock is a highly accurate timekeeping device that relies on the vibrations of atoms to measure time with extraordinary precision. Unlike traditional clocks that use mechanical components or quartz crystals, atomic clocks are based on the principles of atomic physics. Here’s a breakdown of how atomic clocks work: Atomic Transitions: Atomic clocks are … Continue reading What is an atomic clock and how does it work? More
