Quantum telepathy, laser-based time crystals, a glow from empty space and an “unreal” universe—these are the most awesome (and awfully hard to understand) results from the subatomic realm we encountered in 2022
The quantum world defies common sense at every turn. Shaped across hundreds of thousands of years by biological evolution, our modern human brain struggles to comprehend things outside our familiar naturalistic context. Understanding a predator chasing prey across a grassy plain is easy; understanding most anything occurring at subatomic scales may require years of intense scholarship and oodles of gnarly math.
Lasers Create Time Crystals and Portals to Higher Dimensions Despite seeming like plot elements of a cult-classic science-fiction film, two unrelated papers published earlier this year describe not-at-all-fictitious ways of harnessing light at the quantum frontier. In one study, researchers reported the first-ever construction of laser-based time crystals, quantum systems that exhibit crystallike periodic structures not in space but in time.
