⏳✨ Next stop: Albuquerque!
Our paper, Time Crystals for Quantum Memories: A Tensor-Network Approach, has been accepted for presentation at IEEE Quantum Week — QCE 2025 in New Mexico.
Catch us in the Quantum Technologies & Systems Engineering track!

What’s inside?

  • Time-crystalline stability: We model quantum memories as discrete time crystals (DTCs)—driven many-body systems whose subharmonic oscillations can passively protect stored information from local perturbations.
  • Tensor-network power: Using matrix-product-state (MPS) simulations with time-evolving block decimation (TEBD), we map the DTC phase diagram and track subharmonic order over experimentally relevant timescales.
  • Noise resilience: Our simulations show that DTC order can survive moderate environmental decoherence, hinting at a pathway toward robust, passively protected quantum memories.

Catch me in the poster track on 9/2 and 9/4 (paper 1296)!

See you in the Land of Enchantment! 🌵🌌
