An international team of researchers has created and observed a new phase of matter, popularly known as a “time crystal,” using Google’s Sycamore quantum computing hardware. Just as a crystal’s structure repeats in space, a time crystal repeats in time and, importantly, does so infinitely and without any further input of energy – like a clock that runs forever without any batteries.
