By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in an optical clock. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, a team led by Kai Dietze at the German National Metrology Institute, hope their approach could help usher in a new generation of optical clocks—opening up new possibilities in precision experiments and metrology.
