Strange New Matter in Which Time Has ‘Two Dimensions’ Created by Scientists

Strange New Matter , in Which Time Has 'Two Dimensions', Created by Scientists.
'The Independent' reports that scientists
have created a new phase of matter
that exists in two dimensions of time.
According to the team that found this "extra" dimension,
the discovery could help build quantum computers
and change the way we understand reality.
Researchers found the strange phase of matter by flashing
lasers in a pattern of pulses inspired by the Fibonacci
sequence at atoms inside a quantum computer.

The discovery has the potential to make years of theoretical research an experimental reality.
Currently, quantum computing is error-prone
due to the instability of qubits, or quantum bits.
In practice, experimental devices have
many sources of error that can degrade
coherence after just a few laser pulses, Philipp Dumitrescu, from the Flatiron Institute’s Center
for Computational Quantum Physics in New York City,
via 'The Independent'.
The new phase of matter creates a special
arrangement in time that adds extra symmetry from
an extra dimension that doesn't actually exist. .
The team is now working to integrate
the discovery with functional quantum
computers to improve stability and resilience. .
We have this direct,
tantalizing application,
but we need to find a way
to hook it into the calculations.
That’s an open problem
we’re working on, Philipp Dumitrescu, from the Flatiron Institute’s Center
for Computational Quantum Physics in New York City,
