Glen, perhaps there is some updated equivalent to the old film technique of running film past a slit, with the shutter open? One of the very early high speed recording methods. Capable of recording one analogue value at very high speed, at least in its time. John On 29/7/19 2:00 am,

Electro-optic samplers are about the closest but they typically transform from time to spatial domain and have multibit resolution. The storage isnt atomic but in an image sensor attached to a spectroscometer. http://beamdocs.fnal.gov/AD/DocDB/0025/002555/001/eos1.pdf Bruce > On 28 July 2019

Kind of the opposite of what you are asking: ultrafast laser spectroscopy is used to study chemical reactions and make measurements of their time scales (often in the time range of several femtoseconds). And precise timing of photons produced is critical to making the measurements. The chemical

OK research people...since this forum is loaded with bleeding edge understanding,  Is there such a thing in the lab as a material that can store, in a 2 level (1 bit) format (or more) , a discrete time representation of some event ? In my simple example (dream), an arrangement of some
