What are the potential uses of time crystals?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Time crystals, as defined in the Wikipedia article, are a new phase of matter that exhibit periodic structure in time, rather than space. Their potential applications include advancements in quantum computing and energy storage, as they could lead to more stable qubits and efficient energy systems. Experimental verification is crucial to explore these applications further, as the current understanding is primarily theoretical. Researchers must focus on practical experiments to validate the implications of time crystals in real-world scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum physics concepts
  • Familiarity with quantum computing principles
  • Knowledge of energy storage technologies
  • Awareness of experimental physics methodologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of quantum computing and its reliance on qubits
  • Explore current advancements in energy storage technologies
  • Investigate experimental methods used in quantum physics
  • Study the implications of new phases of matter in material science
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum computing researchers, material scientists, and anyone interested in the future applications of advanced materials in technology.

I have stumbled upon an interesting article in wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_crystal

While i somewhat understand the concept, i was unable to find applications or at least repercussions of said crystals. I am not of QP background, so even if its obvious, could someone be kind enough to explain or point me towards why that could be important.

We would need to experimentally verify this hypothesis before considering applications.
