Yes! The shortest length of time is known as the Planck time, and is about 5.3*10^-44 seconds long. Of course, this might not make much sense, as you could always keep cutting this in half to make shorter and shorter times, but that doesn’t really work in quantum mechanics.
In quantum mechanics, certain properties of a system will always have some uncertainty associated with them. For instance, if you were to measure the amount of time it took for a particle to decay, the most precise you could ever possibly measure it would be to the nearest Planck time. There is no possible way you could get any more precise than this in principle, which makes this the smallest possible unit of time.
The same can be said for units of length, as well. The smallest unit of distance possible is the Planck length, which is about 1.6*10^-35 meters long. Just like with the Planck time, it is impossible to measure the position of an object below the precision of one Planck length.
Note, it’s not that we don’t have the technology to measure below these levels, it’s that time and space actually behave differently below these units. It makes no sense to talk about half a Planck length or Planck time, since our concepts of space and time don’t really exist on these levels.
