Strange New Matter , in Which Time Has 'Two Dimensions', Created by Scientists.<br />'The Independent' reports that scientists <br />have created a new phase of matter <br />that exists in two dimensions of time.<br />According to the team that found this "extra" dimension, <br />the discovery could help build quantum computers <br />and change the way we understand reality.<br />Researchers found the strange phase of matter by flashing <br />lasers in a pattern of pulses inspired by the Fibonacci <br />sequence at atoms inside a quantum computer.<br />Researchers found the strange phase of matter by flashing <br />lasers in a pattern of pulses inspired by the Fibonacci <br />sequence at atoms inside a quantum computer.<br />Researchers found the strange phase of matter by flashing <br />lasers in a pattern of pulses inspired by the Fibonacci <br />sequence at atoms inside a quantum computer.<br />The discovery has the potential to make years of theoretical research an experimental reality.<br />Currently, quantum computing is error-prone <br />due to the instability of qubits, or quantum bits.<br />In practice, experimental devices have <br />many sources of error that can degrade <br />coherence after just a few laser pulses, Philipp Dumitrescu, from the Flatiron Institute’s Center <br />for Computational Quantum Physics in New York City, <br />via 'The Independent'.<br />The new phase of matter creates a special <br />arrangement in time that adds extra symmetry from <br />an extra dimension that doesn't actually exist. .<br />The team is now working to integrate <br />the discovery with functional quantum <br />computers to improve stability and resilience. .<br />We have this direct, <br />tantalizing application, <br />but we need to find a way <br />to hook it into the calculations. <br />That’s an open problem <br />we’re working on, Philipp Dumitrescu, from the Flatiron Institute’s Center <br />for Computational Quantum Physics in New York City, <br />via 'The Independent'.<br />‘Dynamical topological phase realized <br />in a trapped-ion quantum simulator’ <br />was published in the journal 'Nature.'
