European scientists have, for the first time, connected a time crystal to another system external to itself, which could one day help power quantum computers of the future.
The scientists at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland, have published a study on the topic. Academy Research Fellow Jere Mäkinen first authored it.
The study describes the process of the team turning the time crystal into an optomechanical system that can be used to develop extremely accurate sensors or memory systems for quantum computers.
The team used the facilities of the Low Temperature Laboratory, which is part of OtaNano, the Finnish national research infrastructure for nano-, micro-, and quantum technologies, and the computational facilities of the Aalto Science-IT project.
