Google’s quantum computer generates new phase of matter: Time crystals

In a paper revealed final month on the research-sharing platform Arxiv.org, a staff of over 100 scientists describe how they arrange an array of 20 quantum particles, or qubits, to function a time crystal. Throughout experiments, they utilized algorithms that spun the qubits upward and downward, producing a controllable response that could possibly be sustained “for infinitely lengthy occasions,” in keeping with the paper.
