00:00What could these time crystals be used for?
00:03Scientists are cautious, but here are some of their ideas.
00:07Quantum computing.
00:08Time crystals resist decoherence caused by interaction with the environment,
00:12locking themselves into stable oscillations.
00:15These systems, once brought into a quantum regime,
00:18could serve as robust memory elements or even error-resistant qubits,
00:23measurements and precision sensors.
00:25Because they naturally oscillate at stable frequencies,
00:30time crystals could be used in extremely precise clocks
00:33or in sensors that are even more resistant to environmental conditions than quartz.
00:38New materials.
00:40Just as superconductors revolutionized technology,
00:43time crystals could inspire future devices
00:46based on phases of matter that are out of equilibrium.
00:50For now, these are possibilities, not products.
00:53But history shows us that exotic phases of matter,
00:57like superconductivity or topological insulators,
01:00end up being used in real-world applications.
01:03that amazing inteligens.
