Distant time crystals oscillate in unison, paving the way for spin networks

Per Phys.org, physicists at TU Dortmund University have demonstrated that multiple time crystals can form in the same semiconductor and synchronize their oscillations. The research, published in Nature Communications and led by Professor Alex Greilich, shows that time crystals can coordinate when existing together in the same material. This builds on the team's January 2024 breakthrough, when they achieved a time crystal with oscillations that remained stable for hours.
