1 E-12 s

To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10&minus;12 seconds and 10&minus;11 seconds (1 pico second 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.
