The iqClock project represents a groundbreaking effort to miniaturize and stabilize ultra-narrow linewidth lasers for next-generation optical atomic clocks, pushing the boundaries of frequency stability and coherence. By integrating laser systems with quantum logic and lattice clock architectures, the project aimed to create transportable, field-deployable time standards with unprecedented precision—potentially revolutionizing navigation, geodesy, and fundamental physics experiments.

A pioneering initiative to develop ultra-stable, transportable optical lattice clocks using strontium and ytterbium atoms, with laser systems engineered for exceptional frequency stability, compactness, and robustness. These systems were designed to enable high-precision timekeeping for applications in fundamental physics, geodesy, and intercontinental clock comparisons.
