First part of a JRC study series (EUR 28555 EN, author A. M. Lewis) on the policy impact of quantum technologies, focused on atomic clocks and precise time. It explains how ultraprecise timing underpins networked infrastructure, timestamping of financial transactions and geo-referenced data, describes the role of national metrology institutes, BIPM and EURAMET, and argues that EU and national law should fully embed the BIPM definition of time.
