[time-nuts] atomic/chemical THz sampler

[Glen English VK1XX]

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 molecular or some  
quantum storage medium, that can store an event at discrete intervals of 
say, 100fs  ? That is, the duration of the storage might be 1nS, storing 
the state of something, at 100fs intervals (example ) ....having a  (for 
example) sample storage of 10000 samples, and the ability to freeze that 
event (in some atomic level memory) for later readout   once only or 
continuously looped ?

No, I am not proposing this for my period /frequency analyser, I was 
just wondering about super high speed digitization and storage of very 
fast very short events.
