• Abstract: Here we explore the possibility of precise time-keeping in quantum systems using athermal resources. We show that quantum measurement engineered reservoirs can be used as athermal resources to drive the ticks of a quantum clock. Two and three level quantum systems act as transducers in our model, converting the quantum measurement induced noise to produce a series of ticks. The ticking rate of the clock is maximized when the measured observable maximally non-commutes with the clock's Hamiltonian. We use the large deviation principle to characterize the statistics of observed ticks within a given time-period and show that it can be sub-Poissonian -- quantified by Mandel's Q parameter -- alluding to the quantum nature of the clock. We discuss the accuracy and efficiency of the clock, and extend our framework to include hybrid quantum clocks fueled by both measurements, and thermal resources. We make comparisons to relatable recent proposals for quantum clocks, and discuss alternate device implementations harvesting the quantum measurement engineered non-equilibrium conditions, beyond the clock realization.

  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.

The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.
