European scientists have, for the first time, connected a time crystal to another system external to itself, which could one day help power quantum computers of the future. The scientists at Aalto ...

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...

For the first time, physicists have transformed a quantum processor into a state of matter that seems to defy physics, a breakthrough that could be a step toward making quantum computing more ...

Time crystals oscillate in predictable patterns across time, similar to how normal crystals repeat in atomic structure. A type of time crystal known as a continuous time crystal (CTC) resembles ...

A time crystal formed on top of a superfluid in ultracold conditions. A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel Laureate ...
