Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scotty Scott, Chief Engineer and third in command of the starship Enterprise had his dilithium crystals: Quantum computers could soon have time crystals. It all sounds very Doctor Who, but time crystals were theoretically predicted 10 years ago, and ongoing research now shows they can be engineered to interconnect, not only to help build quantum computers but also provide greatly improved and highly stable memory storage for the devices.

Mind you, as of today, theyd be difficult to manage because any connections would have to take place in a superfluid of helium-3 maintained at a temperate of one-ten-thousandth of a degree above absolute zero, which itself is minus 273 degrees Celsius, so your average fridge wont be of much use. At such a low temperature there is no viscosity, no friction and no heat is produced, and thus perpetual motion becomes a possibility. Superfluidity can occur in helium-3 when individual atoms pair up to make bosonic complexes called Cooper pairs: Youll have to take my word for that, or read it up yourselves.

In normal crystals salt, sugar or snowflakes, for example atoms are arranged periodically in a lattice formation. These atoms move in three dimensions within that framework (up and down, left and right, backwards and forwards on an X, Y, Z axis), oscillating until, when at ground state (when all electrons are at the lowest possible energy levels), they stop moving. The structures of atoms in time crystals are very different because they oscillate in time as well in space in other words, in a fourth dimension.And, heres the astonishing bit, they do exhibit perpetual motion, jiggling around forever without the need for any energy input or losing any energy at any time.

By doing this, time crystals might appear to break the Second Law of Thermodynamics by negating entropy, which can be described as a measure of randomness, uncertainty, unpredictability and decline into disorder. Or, as Paul Simon sings (on his under-rated and under-played track), everything put together sooner or later falls apart. Entropy is also a measure of the number of possible arrangements the atoms in a system can have. However, time crystals existing in space time cannot create infinite energy as, in fact, they do obey the Second Law of Thermodynamics, because the energy is conserved within a closed system.

That negation of entropy in a closed system is down to a principle of quantum mechanics called many-object localisation. Here, when a force is exerted on one atom, that force is felt by that single atom alone and not by any others, i.e. the change is localised rather than systemwide. Thus, the system does not experience entropy and so become unpredictable and liable to breakdown, but instead continues to oscillate, presumably for ever (as no one ever looks at what is going on). If that happens, the state changes according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which says that when a quantum system is observed and measured, its quantum wave function disappears. Thus, time crystals can work properly only when completely separate to, and isolated from, their surroundings, and then we are back to the closed system again.

A research fellow and physics lecturer at Lancaster University, Samuli Autti, has been working with scientists at Aalto University in Finland (where he completed his PhD) and created two time crystals that paired and interacted with one another. The pairing existed for 1,000 seconds, a period that equated to many billions of periods of oscillation before the wave function decayed and slowed. The research programme continues, and pairing times are expected be extended.

The experiment showed that the paired time crystals (and their interaction) may well turn out to be the basic foundation upon which to build a fully-functioning quantum computer. Thats because a mass of paired time crystals could be made to operate as qubits quantum bits that can represent a 1 and 0 and on and off simultaneously, to provide massive and very fast computing processing speed. Meanwhile, the search is on to develop time crystals that will work at room temperature, a breakthrough that would make it far easier to construct and run quantum computers.

Even though the experiments may sound like something from science fiction, they are science fact, and Scotty has been proved right in his oft-repeated assertion that Ye cannae break the laws of physics, Captain. And, indeed, you cant, but it may be possible to bend them a bit from time to time.

In photoelectric effect, light waves cannot knock electrons out; and in a photons passing through many slit experiment, a photon cannot pass through many slits at the same time. Namely, the two physical processes, respectively, reflect one aspect of wave-particle duality of quantum particle. On the other hand, in photoelectric effect, photons can knock electrons out; in the many slit experiment, a photon light wave can pass through many slits at the same time. The two physical processes then are complementarily equivalent in wave-particle duality of quantum particle. That is, in wave-particle duality of quantum particle, the first and the second cases use the particle property and the wave property, respectively. Namely, a photon can show as either particle or wave, but cannot be observed as both at the same time for a physics process.

We now generally show them by exact deduction.

In 4-dimensional momentum representation of quantum theory, when considering wave function (phi (vec{p},E)) of momentum representation, one has25

$$ psi (vec{r},t) = frac{1}{{(2pi hbar )^{2} }}int_{ - infty }^{infty } {} phi (vec{p},E)e^{{i(vec{p} cdot vec{r} - tE)/hbar }} dvec{p}dE = frac{1}{{(2pi hbar )^{3/2} }}int_{ - infty }^{infty } {} varphi (vec{p},t)e^{{ivec{p} cdot vec{r}/hbar }} dvec{p} $$

(1)

Equation(1) is a general Fourier transformation of ( , phi (vec{p},E)) (about the plane wave energy E and momentum (vec{p})) from the four-dimensional momentum representation state vector ( , phi (vec{p},E)) to the projection of the plane wave basic vector (e^{{i(vec{p} cdot vec{r} - tE)/hbar }}) and making integration for getting ( , psi (vec{r},t)), which make ( , psi (vec{r},t)) have not only the characteristics of the probabilistic state vector of the particle but also the characteristics of the plane wave, i.e., make ( , psi (vec{r},t)) have the state vector characteristics of wave-particle duality.

Because the momentum representation state vector ( , phi (vec{p},E)) is nonlocal, it also reflects that the system has the global characteristics of momentum (vec{p}) and energy (E), this global property can be the integrity of the particle, e.g., even including different physics qualities, e.g., spin, since the different qualities are not related to space coordinates.

Therefore, the expression (1) exactly shows wave-particle dualitys origin which displays that the wave property is originating from the plane wave part of the general Fourier expansion, and the particle property is originating from the general Fourier expansion coefficients with the particles global property even including different spins.

Therefore, we discover, for arbitrary particle, on an aspect, it propagates with the plane wave of the four-dimensional momentum ((vec{p},E)) as the propagation amplitude of the plane wave; on another aspect, it moves as a particle with the four-dimensional momentum ((vec{p},E)). Especially, when the expanding coefficients have different spins, it moves as a particle with both the four-dimensional momentum ((vec{p},E)) and the different spins, which are the new true physics and the new physical pictures, and uncover the corresponding expressions contributions of both wave part and particle part of wave-particle duality origin. Namely, Eq.(1) is the function of unified expression of wave-particle duality.

A little bit of philosophical insight on what this work means that the unified expression of wave-particle duality is just the superposition state of wave-particle duality, and the superposition state of wave-particle duality is physically real.

Furthermore, the infinite big momenta and energy show their corresponding to infinite big velocity in Eq.(1), and then the infinite big velocity is included, i.e., the wave function (1) of coordinate representation has the contribution of infinite big momentum or speed, namely, the wave function at any spatial and time points has the contributions from negative to positive infinite big momenta or speeds. Similarly, when we do the inverse Fourier transformation of Eq.(1) about whole spacetime coordinates, we find that the wave function of 4-dimentional momentum representation has the contributions of the whole 4-dimentional spacetime, i.e., the wave function at any 4-dimentialal momentum spatial point has the contributions from the whole spacetime. Thus, the above both cases just the reasons that Feynman path integral can be done in whole 4-dimentional spacetime or momentum space.

Using Eq.(1), we have wave function of momentum representation at time t

$$ varphi (vec{p},t) = frac{1}{{(2pi hbar )^{1/2} }}int_{ - infty }^{infty } {} phi (vec{p},E)e^{ - itE/hbar } dE $$

(2)

On the other hand, using Huygens' Principle, one has the basic wave analysis:

Every point of a wave front may be considered the source of secondary wavelets that spread out in all directions with a speed equal to the speed of propagation of the waves. What this means is that when one has a wave, he can view the "edge" of the wave as actually creating a series of circular waves. These waves combine together in most cases to just continue the propagation, and in some cases there are significant observable effects. The wave front can be viewed as the line tangent to all of these circular waves26.

Further using Eq.(1) and Huygens principle above, we have N subwave functions through N slits

$$ psi (vec{r}_{j} ,t) = frac{1}{{(2pi hbar )^{2} }}int_{ - infty }^{infty } {} phi (vec{p},E)e^{{i(vec{p} cdot vec{r}_{j} - tE)/hbar }} dvec{p}dE = frac{1}{{(2pi hbar )^{3/2} }}int_{ - infty }^{infty } {} varphi (vec{p},t)e^{{ivec{p} cdot vec{r}_{j} /hbar }} dvec{p} $$

(3)

where j=1,2,,N. No losing generality and for simplicity, taking N=2 just shows the up slit and down slit, respectively, in Young's Double Slits in Fig.2.

Interference of a particle plane wave in Young's double slit experiment.

Therefore, Eqs.(1)(3) can also be seen as a kind of expressions of Huygens principle. Consequently, these Fourier expansions physically imply new physics, and are not only just the mathematical tools.

The superposition density function of two subwaves is just Eq.(5) in Section Solutions to Wheelers delayed choice puzzle and puzzle of a particles passing double slits simultaneously by the physics processes of the exact quantum physics expressions, the interference terms of the two subwaves in Fig.2 are just the third term and fourth term in Eq.(5).

These properties are exactly conforming to the plane wave properties of the single particle, thus a particle plane wave can simultaneously pass through N slits, for simplicity, Young's Double Slits in Fig.2, Eq.(3) just generally give the both subwave functions that simultaneously pass through N slits, for simplicity, two slits s1 and s2 in Young's Double Slits, respectively.

The N subwave functions have the same amplitude (phi (vec{p},E)) for some certain (vec{p},E), (e^{{i(vec{p} cdot vec{r}_{j} - tE)/hbar }}) (j=1, 2,, N) are just N plane subwave functions in Eq.(3), and the N probabilistic wave functions in Eq.(3) integrate for ((vec{p},E)) from negative infinite to positive infinite, i.e., having considered all possibility, which make the N expressions (3) exact.

The global property of a particle does not allow the single particle to simultaneously pass through N slits, for simplicity, Young's double slits, in reality, the interference of a particle wave is observed, which just show a particle wave simultaneously does pass the N slits, for simplicity, the double slits, but all theories up to now cannot solve the hard puzzle of a particles passing the N slits, e.g., Youngs double slits simultaneously.

If you spend any time online, youve undoubtedly heard about Ethereum. Just as a reminder, Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform. It can be used by anyone to create digital technology. Software developers are able to build applications in finance, advertising, identity management, gaming, and web browsing, to name a few. Ether is the cryptocurrency that fuels the network it allows it to operate. Like Bitcoin, Ether can be used for payments. There are so many companies that accept ETH, so you can spend your Ethereum anywhere. Ethereum brings real value.

Ethereum helps create a decentralized computer, which makes possible smart contracts and DApps. Smart contracts are special kinds of programs that run when predetermined conditions are met. They operate based upon an if, then logic. The apps run according to the given instructions, so theres no chance of latency, restriction, deceit, or third-party interference. DApps, also called decentralized applications, exist on the peer-to-peer network of computers. More often than not, theyre accessible via traditional web browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox.

As opposed to Bitcoin, which has a limited scripting language, ETH runs on Solidity, which creates machine-level code and incorporates it within the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Its similar in nature to C++ and pretty simple to learn. The Ethereum blockchain is capable of executing code of unmatched complexity. Ethereum 1.0 was an attempt to build a world computer. Ethereum 2.0 will be the world computer. It may subsume the functions of the Internet as we know it. What is certain is that the Merge will make a difference as regards the Ethereum ecosystem (and more than that).

At the time of the launch, Ethereum was one of the most formidable projects in the crypto space. Vitalik Buterin and his supporters wanted to change how the Internet works. Many argue that Ethereum is the Internets next step. Ethereum 2.0, the upgrade to the blockchain network, will improve the speed, efficiency, and scalability of the network. ETH will be used by more and more people. The transition to the Ethereum 2.0 world has been slow, though. In spite of this, adoption is still growing. Compared to other cryptocurrencies, the transaction volume is higher.

For the time being, the priority is to address the restrictions of proof-of-work. The platform is moving to the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which promises to use less energy (approx. 99% less) and help reach 100 000 transactions per second. Validators are chosen based on the number of tokens they possess. Those who spend money on coins practically invest in the networks continued success. Validators cant corrupt the system, as proof-of-stake has checks and balances in place to prevent this from happening.

Theres so much traffic on the Ethereum blockchain, and this overload can result in high transaction fees. The solution to this problem is simple: layer-2 chains. Chains like Polygon complete more transactions per second with lower gas fees. Speaking of which, Polygon is the most widely adopted layer-2 solution for ETH. It processes transactions outside the mainnet, which explains the increased throughput. In case you didnt know, Ethereums layer-2 solutions fall under several categories, namely channels, plasma, sidechains, rollups, and validium. Many of them are undergoing research, testing, and implementation.

As highlighted by Vitalik Buterin, soon enough, Ethereum will be run on a full node using lighter hardware. A single piece of client software will be enough to run a full node. When a transaction is added to the blockchain network, the full node validates the transaction and ascertains it complies with the Ethereum specification. The full node prunes its blockchain to save disk space. Thus, full nodes dont store data back to genesis. Most laptops are eligible for being full nodes. The more nodes in existence, the more unlikely it is for a cyberattack to succeed.

Cryptocurrencies achieve decentralized security and trust. Cryptography is the pillar of cryptocurrency processing. Encrypted information that is transmitted with an algorithm can be deciphered by a quantum computer, so threat actors can intercept that information. Quantum-resistant cryptography can protect data from threats down the road. Vitalik Buterin is looking ahead into the future and plans to upgrade the Ethereum platform for quantum resistance. Its believed there are several years ahead until ETH will experience a threat to its current cryptographic signatures, but its better to be safe than sorry.

Ethereum wont hide from quantum computers, so dont rush to sell your Ether just yet. Try to imagine what it will become in the future. Wise investors dont sell their coins. Quite the opposite, actually. They withdraw liquidity from exchanges like Binance, which has a positive effect on the Ethereum price. Getting back on topic, competitions are constantly organized for researchers to standardize new cryptographic protocols that protect against quantum attackers. Better protocols are needed for improving zero-knowledge proofs. The Ethereum Virtual Machine generates zero-knowledge proofs to guarantee the correctness of programs. ZPK systems can be post-quantum secure.

Given the current and planner improvements to the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum might well become the dominant chain as far as transaction volumes are concerned. As the platform increases its efficiency, it might work alongside multichain technologies. The emergence of a highly competitive ecosystem will enable ETH to expand its capacity and allow for remarkable results. The one wont replace the other, that is for sure. Down the line, there will be more vertically focused blockchains for specific use cases, including healthcare and gaming.

All in all, Ethereum is working towards solving its problems. As businesses get funded via Ether, an ever-increasing number of people will become familiar with the digital asset. Startups that have raised money through an ICO will end up surviving in the long term and help promote the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies. Well just have to wait and see what the future holds for ETH. Good things dont come easy.
