David Wineland Public Lecture: Keeping Better Time - The Era of Optical Atomic Clocks

[@sampanchakraborty1946]

Application of atomic clocks on future of Quantum computer is building block of the entire discussion.

[@MorganBW53]

I enjoyed the talk. I am pleased to be able to listen to this.

[@seshachary5580]

very educative. thank you. regards.

[@hos84688]

thank you for very nice lecture .but it'll be more interesting if we can see the datashow

[@rotorgator]

if gravity has an effect ..... does Coriolis have any effect on the movement of atoms when computing their speed to determine time ?

[@gammondog]

I doubt it. Coriolis is an effect, not a force. An object traveling a straight coarse on a rotation sphere will "plot" a curve. You can demonstrate this on a record player turntable using a piece of cardboard in place of a record and a pencil. Use a ruler to help trace a straight line while the cardboard is slowly spinning and it will curve. Yet the pencil still moved along a straight line. Oh! The ruler is held above the surface, not on top.

[@rotorgator]

....... effect on a moving object. The object is just much smaller, but, wouldn't the effect be the same? Maybe it doesn't have enough mass to be effected. Just wondered......

How more fps in crysis?

very interesting but painful to listen to. the distinguished speaker is not prepared nor practiced in this presentation i think. but again interesting and useful.

[@DavidChipman]

Is it just me or is this guy nervous doing this talk?

[@ramrodou812]

i think he's a bit nervous. he's just not a polished public speaker. but i did enjoy this lecture anyway. it's the information that i was after, not necessarily the delivery.

[@DavidChipman]

ram rod Fair enough. I agree with your point.

[@gunsite45]

I think he's just talking about very complex systems and he's trying hard to speak precisely about the processes from memory. Plus his brain is moving 1000x faster than his mouth and he has to decide which part of his thoughts to make into words and sentences. LOL . He's also trying to balance of how in depth and how dumbed down to give the details.
