  NorCC Seminar: Building a Quantum Experiment — Fundamental Physics with Atomic Clocks 1h 45m
  
  Optical atomic clocks can be made with incredible stability and accuracy; keeping time to better than one second in the age of the universe. This amazing performance can be used as the basis for an amazing detector for new physics. In this seminar we will see what it takes to turn an ultra-stable clock into an ultra-sensitive detector for the effects of ultra-light dark matter. We will discuss the challenges in constructing the experiment, limits of the analysis techniques, and prospects for improving the search in the future.
