• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: A driven linear oscillator and a feedback mechanism are two necessary elements of any classical periodic clock. Here, we introduce a novel, fully quantum clock using a driven oscillator in the quantum regime and coherent quantum feedback. We show that if we treat the model semiclassically, this system supports limit cycles, or self-sustained oscillations, as needed for a periodic clock. We then analyse the noise of the system quantum mechanically and prove that the accuracy of this clock is higher compared to the clock implemented with the classical measurement feedback. We experimentally implement the model using two superconducting cavities with incorporated Josephson junctions and microwave circulators for the realisation of the quantum feedback. We confirm the appearance of the limit cycle and study the clock accuracy both in frequency and time domains. 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.

  Next generation of space-based networks will contain optical clocks embedded within satellites. Current experiments have shown the potential for classical frequency combs to synchronize remote optical clocks over free-space. Quantum frequency combs, however, which exhibit quantum properties such as squeezing and entanglement, provide pathways for going beyond the standard quantum limit.
