The versatility of quantum computers have helped physicists create a "time crystal," a new phase of matter.

Time Crystal Created In Prototype Quantum Computer“The big picture is that we are taking the devices that are meant to be the quantum computers of the future and thinking of them as complex ...

By experimentally making a quantum computer behave like a robust form of time crystal, a team of physicists from China and the US hope to make the technology less prone to errors as it scales.

Quantum opportunities The researchers were able to confirm their claim of a true time crystal thanks to special capabilities of the quantum computer.

You probably know what a crystal is. We’ve all seen one, held one in our hands, and even tasted one on our tongue (for instance sodium chloride crystals, also known as “salt”). But what on earth is a ...

‘An ever-ticking clock’: How these physicists made a ‘time crystal’ inside a quantum computer — and what it means for us.

Now, researchers at Google Quantum AI and Stanford University in the US have constructed a time crystal on Google’s Sycamore quantum processor, demonstrating that these exotic objects constitute their ...

Time crystals really don't like to play by the rules. That could be a good thing for quantum computing.

It requires the creation of a specific quantum system that can be controlled in precise ways, in this case ultracold ions. Now Joe Randall and Conor Bradley at the quantum computing start up QuTech in ...

Researchers have created and observed a new phase of matter, popularly known as a time crystal.

Now Joe Randall and Conor Bradley at the quantum computing start up QuTech in The Netherlands, with colleagues elsewhere, have found another, much more general way to create a time crystal. And the ...
