Optimum Algorithm for Quantum Clock Time Scale Synchronization

  • TIME AND FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A quantum clock time scale synchronization algorithm is proposed. The algorithm excludes systematic synchronization error and minimizes random error. Relations are found for calculating the optimum number of measurements and minimum error.
