- Abstract: 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.

We introduce a novel, fully quantum clock using a driven oscillator in the quantum regime and coherent quantum feedback.
We experimentally implement the model using two superconducting cavities with incorporated Josephson junctions and microwave circulators.
Under specific conditions of noisy driving, we observe that the clock oscillations are more coherent than the drive, pointing towards the implementation of a quantum autonomous clock.
