- Abstract: Continuous clocks, i.e. the clocks that measure time in a continuous manner,
are regarded as an essential component of sensing technology. Precision and
recurrence time are two basic features of continuous clocks. In this paper, in
the framework of quantum estimation theory various models for continuous
quantum clocks are proposed, where all tools of quantum estimation theory are
employed to seek the characteristics of clocks with high precision and long
recurrence time. Then, in a resource-based approach, the performance of the
proposed models is compared. It is shown that quantum clocks based on $n$
two-qubits system not only can have better precision than quantum clocks based
on $2n$ one-qubit system but also support long recurrence time. Finally, it is
shown that while employing the number of $n$ entangled qubits improves the
precision of clocks by a factor of $1/\sqrt n $, it inevitably worsens the
recurrence time of the clock.

Unitary evolution does not require a monotonic clock variable.
Because the clock and an evolving system have a common conserved energy, the clock is in different cycles for different energy eigenstates of the system state.
Coherence is almost maintained over long time scales provided the clock period is much smaller than the system period.

In some form or another, all clocks use the evolution of nature towards higher entropy states to quantify the passage of time.
We show theoretically that the maximum possible accuracy for this classical clock is proportional to the entropy created per tick.
We find that there is a linear relation between accuracy and entropy and that the clock operates within an order of magnitude of the theoretical bound.
