Microchip Atomic Clocks
The IEEE Alabama Section eagerly anticipates an illuminating joint presentation by David Chandler and Bryan Owings on Microchip Atomic Clocks
Atomic clocks have become so precise they can now measure thirty billion years with a one second uncertainty. Previously confined to national laboratories and academia, atomic clocks are now commonly deployed in real world applications like cell phone networks, data centers, radars, and the GPS constellation. This presentation will cover the fundamental physics of atomic clocks, the different types of commercially available clocks, and the new clocks that are being created laboratories around the world.
