Our realisation of a time crystal is published in Science

​Researchers from the Taminiau lab at QuTech created a time crystal, a novel exotic quantum phase of matter, using a quantum computer based on diamond. Together with a simultaneous experiment by Google (preprint), the results shed new light on the physics of out-of-equilibrium quantum systems. The team reports their findings today in Science.

Collaboration with Element Six, Francisco Machado and Norman Yao.
