Autonomous Quantum Clocks: Does Thermodynamics Limit Our Ability to Measure Time?
Time remains one of the least well-understood concepts in physics, most notably in quantum mechanics. A central goal is to find the fundamental limits of measuring time. One of the main obstacles is the fact that time is not an observable and thus has to be measured indirectly. Here, we explore thes...
