A no-math explanation on how optical combs work and how they give us mind-bogglingly accurate atomic clocks. Pretty brain-twisting to see how quantum physics is at the heart of it. TL;DR, it's all due to optical beat frequencies and this still applies when its individual photons interacting to produce the beats.
