It depends on what you mean.

In the classic electronics sense, a jiffy will depend on where you live, as it's the amount of time between electrical-current cycles in AC power. So for the US, it'd be 1/60 of a second for a jiffy, or, to answer your question 1/180,000,000,000 of a second.

In a modern computing sense, it can vary widely, since each platform defines a jiffy as a different value.

In a physics sense, a jiffy is the time it takes light to travel one fermi, which is really small, 3x10-24 seconds. Which would make 3 billionths of a jiffy, 9x10-33 seconds.
