  1. Chronon - Wikipedia

    A chronon is a proposed quantum of time, that is, a discrete and indivisible "unit" of time as part of a hypothesis that proposes that time is not continuous. In simple language, a chronon is the smallest, …

  2. Physicists Discover What Controls the Speed of Quantum Time

    6 days ago · Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without ...

  3. Time might be a mirage created by quantum physics, study suggests

    Jul 11, 2024 · Time may not be a fundamental element of the universe but rather an illusion emerging from quantum entanglement, a new study suggests.

  4. Quantum Time and Its Implications: Understanding the Nature of

    Dec 17, 2024 · Time, often regarded as continuous in classical physics, undergoes profound reinterpretation in the quantum realm. Quantum time refers to the idea that time may be discrete at …

  5. Quantum Time: Is Time an Emergent Property of Reality?

    Oct 13, 2025 · This first article in our three-part series explores the theory of quantum time: why physicists believe time may be reversible, multidimensional, or even a by-product of entanglement.

  6. Time might not exist – and we're starting to understand why

    Dec 7, 2025 · In other approaches, time emerges from more fundamental concepts about the Universe. Time might even turn out to be ‘quantised’, meaning that if we were to zoom down to small enough …

  7. Time crystals could supercharge accurate next-gen quantum clocks

    Quantum timekeeping has reached a new threshold, with trapped-ion clocks now accurate to the 19th decimal place and a separate line of theoretical work suggesting that time crystals, exotic ...

  8. Time - Quantum, Relativity, Measurement | Britannica

    Jan 17, 2026 · Special problems arise in considering time in quantum mechanics and in particle interactions. In quantum mechanics it is usual to represent measurable quantities by operators in an …

  9. Time Is Not What You Think”: New Quantum Discovery Reveals …

    May 14, 2025 · In this fascinating field, new research has unveiled intriguing possibilities about how time operates at the quantum level. This research challenges our conventional understanding and forces …

  10. Could Time Run Backward? Quantum Discovery Challenges

    Feb 22, 2025 · Scientists have uncovered a fascinating possibility: time at the quantum level may not be strictly one-way. While our everyday experiences make time seem irreversible, fundamental physics …
