Introduction to Time Crystals
Time crystals are a unique phase of matter that exist in the quantum world. While perpetual motion machines are impossible in our classical world due to friction, time crystals challenge this impossibility by continuously changing back and forth in the quantum realm. Time crystals break translation symmetry in time and exhibit periodic time-dependent behavior forever, without the need for an external source of energy. This new phase of matter is stable, robust, and goes against the laws of equilibrium thermodynamics.
