• Abstract: The next generation of space-based networks will contain optical clocks embedded within satellites. To fully realize the capabilities of such clocks, high-precision clock synchronization across the networks will be necessary. Current experiments have shown the potential for classical frequency combs to synchronize remote optical clocks over free-space. However, these classical combs are restricted in precision to the standard quantum limit. Quantum frequency combs, however, which exhibit quantum properties such as squeezing and entanglement, provide pathways for going beyond the standard quantum limit. Here, we present our perspective on the prospects for practical clock synchronization in space using both classical and quantum frequency combs. We detail the current outcomes achievable with a classical frequency comb approach to synchronization, before quantifying the potential outcomes offered by quantum frequency combs. Challenges to be overcome in deploying frequency combs in space are presented, and the implications of almost-perfect synchronization for future space-based applications and experiments discussed.

• Using coherent feedback for a periodic clock [14.1128902075348]
  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.

  We propose a timeperiodic scheme that leverages quantum-classical feedback protocols in subregions of the system to enhance a time crystal signal significantly exceeding the decoherence time of the device. Based on classical simulation quantum circuit realizations, we find that this approach is suitable for implementation on existing quantum phases and hardware.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.
