Shahriar Physical Review A 65 (6): art. no. 062319 June 2002 Abstract Clock synchronization procedures are analyzed in the presence of imperfect communications. In this context we show that there are physical limitations, which prevent one from synchronizing distant clocks when the intervening medium is completely dephasing, as in the case of a rapidly varying dispersive medium.         Home | About the Program | Our Research | Publications | People Related MURIs | Contact © Massachusetts Institute of Technology
