To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−12 seconds and 10−11 seconds (1 picosecond and 10 picoseconds). A picosecond is one millionth of one millionth of a second (0.000 000 000 001 seconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
- shorter times
- 1 picosecond – half-life of a bottom quark
- 2 picoseconds – switching time of the world's fastest transistor (604 GHz, as of 2005) Article
- 3.3 picoseconds (approximately) – time taken for light to move 1 millimeter
- longer times
The IBM 500GHz Silicon-Germanium transistor executes a singular instruction in about 4 picoseconds.[1]
