Time crystals are physical systems whose time translation symmetry is spontaneously broken. Although the spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry in static systems is proved impossible for the equilibrium state, the discrete time-translation symmetry in periodically driven (Floquet) systems is allowed to be spontaneously broken, resulting in the so-called Floquet or discrete time crystals. While most works so far searching for time crystals focus on the symmetry breaking…

Nonexistence of spontaneous symmetry breakdown of time-translation symmetry: a review
The time invariance of equilibrium states has been established in the C∗-algebraic framework assuming an infinite-volume Heisenberg time evolution as C∗-dynamics. This fundamental property of…
Anderson complexes: Bound states of atoms due to Anderson localization
Atoms can form molecules if they attract each other. Here, we show that atoms are also able to form bound states not due to the attractive interaction but because of destructive interference. If the…
Controlled preparation of phases in two-dimensional time crystals
The study of phases is useful for understanding novel states of matter. One such state of matter are time crystals which constitute periodically driven interacting many-body systems that…

TLDR
This work systematically explore Floquet DQPTs in a class of periodically quenched one-dimensional system with chiral symmetry by tuning the strength of quench, which opens a new perspective for the Floquet engineering of D QPTs and the dynamical detection of topological phase transitions in Floquet systems.
Floquet engineering of topological localization transitions and mobility edges in non-Hermitian quasicrystals
Time-periodic driving fields could endow a system with peculiar topological and transport features. In this work, we find dynamically controlled localization transitions and mobility edges in…

Floquet theory for temporal correlations and spectra in time-periodic open quantum systems: Application to squeezed parametric oscillation beyond the rotating-wave approximation
The authors develop a general method for the computation of temporal correlation functions and the corresponding spectra in time-periodic open quantum systems based on the Floquet theory. The authors…
Genuine Multipartite Correlations in a Boundary Time Crystal
In this work we study genuine multipartite correlations (GMC’s) in a boundary time crystal (BTC). Boundary time crystals are nonequilibrium quantum phases of matter in contact to an environment, for…

Higher-order and fractional discrete time crystals in clean long-range interacting systems
TLDR
It is shown that a clean spin-1/2 system in the presence of long-range interactions and transverse field can sustain a huge variety of different ‘higher-order’ discrete time crystals with integer and, surprisingly, even fractional n > 2.

Prethermalization without Temperature
While a clean driven system generically absorbs energy until it reaches `infinite temperature', it may do so very slowly exhibiting what is known as a prethermal regime. Here, we show that the…
Relaxation dynamics and dissipative phase transition in quantum oscillators with period tripling
Period tripling in driven quantum oscillators reveals unique features absent for linear and parametric drive, but generic for all higher-order resonances. Here, we focus at zero temperature on the…
Time Crystals Protected by Floquet Dynamical Symmetry in Hubbard Models.
TLDR
These time crystals arise only from the Floquet dynamical symmetry and thus appear in both dissipative and isolated systems and in the presence of disorder as long as the FDS is respected, and their experimental realizations in cold atom experiments are discussed.

Antibunched Photons Emitted by a dc-Biased Josephson Junction.
TLDR
It is shown experimentally that a dc biased Josephson junction in series with a high-enough-impedance microwave resonator emits antibunched photons, which could offer an efficient and bright single-photon source in the microwave domain.
