What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Landmark peer-reviewed result proving entanglement helps real clocks, but a lab milestone with modest dB gain and heavy infrastructure — nothing to adopt, high scientific significance to follow.
Next
Monitor for transportable entangled-clock demonstrations and clock-network/geodesy applications; revisit if the entanglement gain reproduces outside JILA or scales to 3D lattices.
