By firing a Fibonacci laser pulse at atoms inside a quantum computer, physicists have created a completely new, strange phase of matter that behaves as if it has two dimensions of time.

The researchers planned to add one symmetry to the atoms using time by hitting them with rhythmic laser pulses. However, they realized they could go further and achieve two time symmetries by ...

These two time dimensions can be traced on the surface of a torus. The quasiperiodic nature of the dual time lines becomes clear by the way they each wrap around the torus again and again “at a ...

There they considered the simplified case of both families of observers in a space-time consisting of two dimensions: one spatial and one time dimension. In their latest publication in the journal ...

It has two dimensions, but still flows in just one direction ... scientists added not one but two time symmetries, using pulses of lasers that came in order but did not repeat.

Four-dimensional optics is a research area investigating ... influence the interaction of electromagnetic fields with ...

Scargill went on to look at whether a 2D universe (again, plus time) would be sufficiently ... is suggestive that complex brains could exist in two dimensions, though more work would be needed ...

By shining a laser pulse sequence inspired by the Fibonacci numbers at atoms inside a quantum computer, physicists have created a remarkable, never-before-seen phase of matter. The phase has the ...
