Researchers in Australia have created the largest time crystal to date, using 57 qubits on an openly accessible IBM quantum computer to construct an exotic phase of matter with properties that repeat over time, rather than in space. The result emphasizes the utility of quantum computers for simulating complex quantum systems and marks an important step towards creating even larger systems of time crystals.

Physics World: New Dutch childcare programme to support ‘quantum mothers’
Two Dutch organizations have teamed up to announce a programme to help new mothers continue working in quantum technologies. The Quantum Childcare Pilot Programme is funded by the Dutch organization Quantum Delta NL and the professional body Women in Quantum Development (WIQD) and is aimed at women working in quantum-related fields in the Netherlands. It will offer grants to help parents find childcare so they can attend quantum-related events and conferences.
