According to a recent study in the journal Nature, physicists have created a new phase of matter.
The goal of the experiment was not to open a portal to an extra time dimensions. They wanted to create a new phase of quantum matter that was defined by the dynamic motions of its components.
They say the technique they developed for creating such a phase without relying on extreme temperatures created a new time frame.
"It is very exciting to see this phase of matter realized in an actual experiment, especially since the mathematical description is based on a theoretical'extra' time dimensions," said Philipp Dumitrescu, study co-author and research fellow at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics.
The scientists used a quasi-periodic laser pulse to target a quantum computer's quantum bits. Think of a crystal.
Andrew Potter, a quantum physicist at the University of British Columbia, told Vice that the Fibonacci sequence is not a repeating sequence. It allows us to realize two separate time-dimensions.
The effect only lasted a short time, but the researchers say it's still a breakthrough. Fascinatingly, they believe that their findings could be a major step towards developing a complex information storage system for quantum computing with limited error.
We need to find a way to hook it into the calculations, but we have this direct, intriguing application. We're working on that problem.
The new phase of matter opens a portal to extra time.
