As space systems evolve towards cis-lunar missions and beyond, the demand for precise yet low-size, -weight, and -power (SWaP) clocks and synchronization methods becomes increasingly critical. We introduce a novel clock synchronization approach based...
This paper presents a theoretical framework modeling space-time as a quantized elastic medium. This elastic model is not intended to replace general relativity, but to offer a complementary mechanical interpretation in the approximation of the weak g...
In vapor-cell atomic clocks, a buffer gas is employed to slow the collision rate of atoms with the vapor-cell’s walls, which dephases the atomic coherence and thereby contributes to the 0-0 hyperfine transition’s linewidth. However, the b...
The instabilities in time and frequency transfer systems, a form of residual noise, can contribute significantly to the total uncertainty in time or frequency comparisons. Understanding the characteristics of transfer instabilities is increasingly im...
In a purely Keplerian picture, the anomalistic, draconitic and sidereal orbital periods of a test particle orbiting a massive body coincide with each other. Such degeneracy is removed when post-Keplerian perturbing acceleration enters the equations o...
Time is an essential element in today’s world, spreading over multiple applications that range from societal activities up to those requiring the highest precision for scientific purposes [...]
