Tremendous chilly atoms might resolve a quantum computing conundrum

Ultracold atoms that continuously transfer in repeating patterns, in a type of matter referred to as a time crystal, could possibly be used to construct quantum computer systems that produce fewer errors.
In typical computer systems, printed circuit boards include strong supplies like plastic. A circuit board constructed from time crystals would contain hundreds of atoms virtually as chilly as absolute zero, one of many situations required for quantum phenomena to unfold. Krzysztof Sacha on the Jagiellonian College in Poland and his colleagues developed a mathematical blueprint for such “temporal printed circuit boards”.…
