This webinar explores how quantum networking can enable multiple ultra-precise optical clocks to operate as a cooperative global time standard. It introduces the idea of linking geographically separated clocks through shared quantum states so they can produce a time signal that is more accurate and stable than any individual clock, while keeping each provider’s data private.

To be led by Sorbonne University researcher Naomi Solomons, the webinar will outline the principles behind networked quantum clocks, explain how privacy can be guaranteed in such systems, and discuss the technical requirements for building a cooperative “world clock.”
