Time crystals could help create quantum computing data storage that lasts minutes, new research shows — a huge improvement on the milliseconds-long duration of existing quantum data storage.
In the new research, scientists ran experiments on how time crystals interact with mechanical waves. Although time crystals are widely considered extremely fragile, the researchers showed that they could couple the time crystal to a mechanical surface wave without it being destroyed.
