Google’s time crystal discovery is so big, we can’t fully comprehend it - BGR

Time crystals will be an essential building block in quantum computers, the kind of computers that can solve complex problems with incredible speed and power technologies that aren’t even invented.

That’s where Google’s time crystals might come into play.

And that instability makes using a quantum computer problematic.

That’s where time crystals come in.

To understand Google’s time crystals, The Next Web offers a great analogy with snowflakes.

But if Google did find a way to make them, then next-gen quantum computers might come with time crystals inside.

Even so, we’re still in the super early stages of creating quantum computers with time crystals.

We might need decades of quantum computing research to create quantum computers with time crystals in them to build warp drives or discover “universally effective cancer treatments.” And we’ll undoubtedly need decades to understand quantum computers and time crystals properly.

Moreover, Quanta Magazine also has a thorough roundup of Google’s discovery, complete with an animation of a time crystal.
