Talk:Time crystal

Not simple?

• "A time crystal is a quantum system that has repeating periodic oscillations of one or more physical measurements in its ground state when seen over time."

Over on the English Wik, there was this suggestion for the introduction: "A time crystal refers to a crystal who's structure is not rigid but rather in perpetual motion. The perpetual motion is achieved by continuously imparting energy into the crystal from an external source to get it out of its zero energy ground state. The perpetual motion moves in a specific pattern that repeats itself over and over again. The movement is thought to cause a phenomenon called quantum entanglement between the particles of the crystal. This entanglement makes the crystal impervious over time to outside forces that would normally breakdown a rigid crystal structure. This breakdown by outside forces is called quantum decoherence by physicists. Essentially the crystal remains forever young and will not lose any information encoded within it. This is a property highly sought after by engineers who are designing quantum computers." Suggester: Gaurus Kdammers (talk) 23:00, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
