Time crystals: A new phase of matter - and a breakthrough for quantum computing?

Рет қаралды 372,891

2 жыл бұрын

Google researchers claim to have created four-dimensional 'time crystals. Time crystals are a new phase of matter that seems to evade the laws of physics. Just like ordinary crystals repeat themselves in space, time crystals repeat themselves in time. Time crystals could become tools to detect magnetic fields or be used to diagnose what's going on inside quantum computers

I doubt i myself would have understood the inner workings anyways and if one would be a theoretical physisist i would guess they already heared of them before in one of the science journals reporting on this kind of stuff regularly. Besides they kind of did explain, it is about a robust recurring measurable effect based on crystals with a repeating order in its atomic structure which then f.e. could be used to measure quantum effects . As i said i doubt i understand it myself but thats the gist of what i kind of got that they said in this piece.

They forgot the classical fourth state of matter - plasma. For the uninformed plasma is like a gas, but the electrons don't "orbit" around the gas molecules but move freely. And some more exotic states of matter like the superfluids which are something in between a liquid and a gas(as far as i know) because they flow around the boundaries of a container to flow out of them and go to their lowest energy state(spilling up and out of it's container) ,but don't quote me on that last bit i know it exists not how it works.
