Introducing the World’s Most Precise Clock

Can any wise person comment on the potential impact of this on distributed systems? If they were cheap enough to pop in a server.

I&#x27;m confused by the use of &quot;accuracy&quot; and &quot;precision&quot; in this article.<p>From the IEEE article: &quot;[ultranarrow lasers] will make it practical for us to achieve an accuracy below 10^-18–more than 100 times the precision of cesium clocks.&quot;<p>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Accuracy_and_precision</a>: &quot;accuracy is the proximity of measurement results to the true value; precision, the repeatability, or reproducibility of the measurement.&quot;<p>Am I mistaken, or is the IEEE article conflating accuracy and precision?
