A strange kind of matter that “ticks” forever without energy input has just taken a major leap toward real-world use. Known as a time crystal, this quantum system repeats its motion endlessly—like a ...

A team of physicists led by Samuli Autti at Aalto University in Finland has, for the first time, connected a time crystal to an external mechanical device and shown that the exotic quantum system ...

The dawn of quantum technology promises to revolutionize fields from secure communication to ultra-powerful computing. However, a significant hurdle has persisted: the bulky and complex nature of ...

Quantum technologies, devices that can process, store, or detect information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical devices in some tasks or scenarios. Despite their ...

When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, ...
