In a new research paper, Google scientists claim to have used a quantum processor for a useful scientific application: to observe a genuine time crystal. If 'time crystal' sounds pretty sci-fi that's ...
Researchers have created and observed a new phase of matter, popularly known as a time crystal. There is a huge global effort to engineer a computer capable of harnessing the power of quantum physics ...
Like a perpetual motion machine, a time crystal forever cycles between states without consuming energy. Physicists claim to have built this new phase of matter inside a quantum computer. In a preprint ...
