= Matter wave clock
{wiki=Matter_wave_clock}
A matter wave clock is a type of clock that utilizes the quantum mechanical properties of matter waves to measure time. This concept is based on the wave-particle duality of matter, as described by quantum mechanics, where particles like electrons, atoms, or even larger molecules exhibit wave-like behavior. In a matter wave clock, the timekeeping mechanism typically relies on the interference patterns of matter waves, similar to how optical clocks use laser light to measure time.
