Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York University (NYU) has shown that a classical time crystal can emerge in a far ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

Time crystals are probably one of the most fascinating recent discoveries in physics. We know what a regular crystal is – a ...

Physicists have assembled one of the largest and most intricate time crystals yet, using IBM’s latest quantum hardware to push a once-theoretical phase of matter into a new regime of scale and control ...

A time crystal, a long-life quantum system approaching perpetual motion, has been hooked up to its environment for the first time, unlocking an intriguing way to increase quantum computational and ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results from the oscillation of its pendulum. These phenomena can be understood with ...

Scientists at TU Wien have uncovered that quantum correlations can stabilize time crystals—structures that oscillate in time without an external driver. Contrary to previous assumptions, quantum ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in time itself. Instead of atoms arranging neatly into repeating patterns, ...
