A Time Crystal is Melting (VIDEO)
Caption
The video begins with a perfect time crystal. When time goes on, the parameter of the quantum system changes so that the time crystal starts to melt. We can see how much the time crystal has melted by looking the network. It is interesting to see that the time crystal does not melt equally, some parts are melting faster than others. Towards the end of the video, we can see that the time crystal has completely melted.
