Toward a Superradiant Laser: Ytterbium Atomic Ensemble and Metrological Development - Martina Matusko

This talk explains how precise timekeeping underpins technologies like GPS and how atomic clocks achieve extreme accuracy using atomic oscillations. The research explores a new “active atomic clock” where atoms generate their own light, enabling even greater precision. Improved clocks could advance navigation, physics research, and our understanding of the universe.
