Mark Thek serves as president of Esterline Power Systems and guides a Southern California company that provides dedicated solutions in the electrical power distribution sphere. Currently working on the book “The Quantification of Human Emotion,” Mark Thek has a passion for mathematics and physics. A recent article in Science Alert brought attention to a plan by National University of Singapore researchers for utilizing time crystals to create a super lightweight, reliable quantum computer. With regular crystals’ repeating units being a fundamental structure, time crystals are “repeated over time” rather than taking up three dimensional space. The particles have resonance in their movements that is not tied to a constant energy source; instead of generating energy, they create a ticking that could potentially be employed in storing vast quantities of information within what is referred to as “magic states.” To accomplish this, the Singaporean researchers propose to create a collective behavior among electrons that resembles the majorana fermions particles that are hypothesized to make up atoms. With the electrons arrayed in a twisting “braid motion” as they travel down a conductor, they would be less fragile than other quantum states and could be used to create ultra-reliable quantum computers. The time crystals would amplify this through time-domain features that would expand the qubits available for encoding information. Comments are closed.
