Scientists have created new quantum computing architectures to create time crystals

Using new quantum computing architectures, scientists are closer to creating a localized version

time crystal with many bodies, whichuses disorder to maintain periodically driven quantum qubits in a continuous state of subharmonic oscillation—the qubits oscillate, but only at specific intervals.

Lead Researcher, Norman Yao, five years agofirst described how to create a crystal of time - a new form of matter, the patterns of which are repeated in time, not in space. However, unlike emerald or ruby ​​crystals, these time crystals only existed for a fraction of a second. He also concluded that time crystals come in different shapes, each stabilized by its own mechanism.

A time crystal is a state of matter thatrepeats in time and space. Time crystals periodically reproduce their state over time. The analogue of a time crystal is a pendulum. It is impossible to create a time crystal in an equilibrium system: if the system enters a state with the minimum possible energy, it remains in it for an unlimited time, and if it goes out of equilibrium, it loses its periodicity in time.
