论文摘要
测量时间意味着计算周期现象的发生。在过去的几个世纪中，付出了重大努力，以使稳定而精确的振荡器用作时钟调节器。在这里，我们考虑基于随机点击过程的不同类时钟。我们提供了一个严格的统计框架，以研究此类设备的性能，并将结果应用于在光调整下连贯驱动的两级原子，作为非周期性时钟的极端示例。量子跳跃Montecarlo模拟和光子计数等待时间分布将为主要结果提供独立的检查。
Measuring time means counting the occurrence of periodic phenomena. Over the past centuries a major effort was put to make stable and precise oscillators to be used as clock regulators. Here we consider a different class of clocks based on stochastic clicking processes. We provide a rigorous statistical framework to study the performances of such devices and apply our results to a single coherently driven two-level atom under photodetection as an extreme example of non-periodic clock. Quantum Jump MonteCarlo simulations and photon counting waiting time distribution will provide independent checks on the main results.
