HANOVER, New Hampshire, Oct. 24 (TNSJou) -- Dartmouth College issued the following news release:
A phenomenon of quantum mechanics known as superposition can impact timekeeping in high-precision clocks, according to a theoretical study from Dartmouth College, Saint Anselm College and Santa Clara University.
Research describing the effect shows that superposition--the ability of an atom to exist in more than one state at the same time--leads to a correction in atomic clo . . .
