Dependence of the time-reading process of the Salecker--Wigner quantum clock on the size of the clock

Abstract

It is shown in the present note that the degree of the complexity of the time-reading process of the Salecker--Wigner clock depends on the size of the clock. This dependence leads to a relation between the size and the accuracy of the clock, and suggests a precise optimal value for the size in agreement with the order of magnitude value established by Salecker and Wigner.
