Time crystalline structures, which can reveal different condensed matter behaviors, can be created in periodically driven systems. However, the potential practical applications of time crystalline structures have yet to be explored. An international team of researchers (Poland, Australia) paved the way for timetronics where temporal lattices were like printed circuit boards for realization of a broad range of quantum devices. The elements of these devices corresponded to structures of dimensions higher than three and could be arbitrarily connected and reconfigured at any moment. Their approach allowed for the construction of a quantum computer, enabling quantum gate operations for all possible pairs of qubits. According to the researchers their findings indicated that the limitations faced in building devices using conventional spatial crystals could be overcome by adopting crystalline structures in time… read more.
