Discrete time crystals

DV Else, C Monroe, C Nayak… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Experimental advances have allowed for the exploration of nearly isolated quantum many-
body systems whose coupling to an external bath is very weak. A particularly interesting …

Quantum time crystals from Hamiltonians with long-range interactions

VK Kozin, O Kyriienko - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Time crystals correspond to a phase of matter where time-translational symmetry (TTS) is
broken. Up to date, they are well studied in open quantum systems, where an external drive …

Long-range prethermal phases of nonequilibrium matter

F Machado, DV Else, GD Kahanamoku-Meyer… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We prove the existence of nonequilibrium phases of matter in the prethermal regime of
periodically driven, long-range interacting systems, with power-law exponent α> d, where d …

Isolated Heisenberg magnet as a quantum time crystal

M Medenjak, B Buča, D Jaksch - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We demonstrate analytically and numerically that the paradigmatic model of quantum
magnetism, the Heisenberg XXZ spin chain, does not equilibrate. It constitutes an example …

Emergent limit cycles and time crystal dynamics in an atom-cavity system

H Keßler, JG Cosme, M Hemmerling, L Mathey… - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
We propose an experimental realization of a time crystal using an atomic Bose-Einstein
condensate in a high finesse optical cavity pumped with laser light detuned to the blue side …

Discrete time crystal enabled by stark many-body localization

S Liu, SX Zhang, CY Hsieh, S Zhang, H Yao - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Discrete time crystals (DTCs) have recently attracted increasing attention, but most DTC
models and their properties are only revealed after disorder average. In this Letter, we …

Discrete time-crystalline response stabilized by domain-wall confinement

M Collura, A De Luca, D Rossini, A Lerose - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Discrete time crystals represent a paradigmatic nonequilibrium phase of periodically driven
matter. Protecting its emergent spatiotemporal order necessitates a mechanism that hinders …

Time crystals in a shaken atom-cavity system

JG Cosme, J Skulte, L Mathey - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
We demonstrate the emergence of a time crystal of atoms in a high-finesse optical cavity
driven by a phase-modulated transverse pump field, resulting in a shaken lattice. This …

Non-stationarity and dissipative time crystals: spectral properties and finite-size effects

C Booker, B Buča, D Jaksch - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss the emergence of non-stationarity in open quantum many-body systems. This
leads us to the definition of dissipative time crystals which display experimentally …

Feedback-induced quantum phase transitions using weak measurements

DA Ivanov, TY Ivanova, SF Caballero-Benitez… - Physical review …, 2020 - APS
We show that applying feedback and weak measurements to a quantum system induces
phase transitions beyond the dissipative ones. Feedback enables controlling essentially …
