The idea proposed by the team involves creating what they describe as a temporal circuit board—it would be made using ultracold atoms that move around in repeating patterns similar in form to those ...

With demand booming for printed circuit boards, the U.S. government is trying to boost domestic production to move away from reliance on China.

Ultracold atoms that constantly move in repeating patterns, in a form of matter called a time crystal, could be used to build quantum computers that produce fewer errors. In conventional computers, ...
