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.

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.

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
