"A typical crystal has a regular, repeating structure, like the hexagons in a honeycomb. A quasicrystal still has order, but its patterns never repeat. (Penrose tiling is one example of this.) Even more mind-boggling is that quasicrystals are crystals from higher dimensions projected, or squished down, into lower dimensions. Those higher dimensions can even be beyond physical space's three dimensions: A 2D Penrose tiling, for instance, is a projected slice of a 5-D lattice."

Let’s put the nuclear defense system on them right away.

Not stable. not created in nature, and no implications beyond research. The universe does not look different because of this laboratory creation.

Each of those atomic ions serves as what scientists dub a quantum bit, or "qubit."

RRRRIIIIIIIGHT!

Whats a qubit?

“...despite there still being only one singular flow of time..”

That is a wholly unproven assertion.

The phase has the benefits of two time dimensions despite there still being only one singular flow of time.

Ha, I think all of us are quite experienced living in two time dimensions. Someday if you're lucky, the calendar will tell you that you're 75 years old. But the clock in your head will say it all went by so fast it was ridiculous. Yes, it sure seems two time dimensions are at work there, but I'm not sure where the benefits are.

Fascinating article. Thanks for posting. I hope these guys succeed in giving quantum computing a quantum kick in the pants!
