Scientists connect “time crystal” to real device in quantum breakthrough

SMRTR summary

Scientists at Aalto University have connected a time crystal — a quantum system that moves in repeating patterns without needing external energy — to an outside device for the first time. By cooling helium-3 to near absolute zero and using radio waves, researchers created a time crystal that lasted several minutes before fading. This breakthrough opens the door to more powerful quantum computer memory and ultra-precise sensors.
