Discrete time crystals are a recently proposed and experimentally observed out-of-equilibrium dynamical phase of Floquet systems, where the stroboscopic dynamics of a local observable repeats itself at an integer multiple of the driving period. We address this issue in a driven-dissipative setup, focusing on the modulated open Dicke model, which can be implemented by cavity or circuit QED systems. In the thermodynamic limit, we employ semiclassical approaches and find rich dynamical phases on…

Discrete Time Crystals in the Absence of Manifest Symmetries or Disorder in Open Quantum Systems.
TLDR
A semiclassical approach reveals the emergence of a robust discrete time-crystalline phase in the thermodynamic limit in which metastability, dissipation, and interparticle interactions play a crucial role.
Dissipative discrete time crystals
Periodically driven quantum systems host a range of non-equilibrium phenomena which are unrealizable at equilibrium. Discrete time-translational symmetry in a periodically driven many-body system can…
Signatures of discrete time crystalline order in dissipative spin ensembles
Discrete time-translational symmetry in a periodically driven many-body system can be spontaneously broken to form a discrete time crystal, an exotic new phase of matter. We present observations…
Time crystals in a shaken atom-cavity system
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 shaken system exhibits…
Time crystals: Analysis of experimental conditions
Time crystals are quantum many-body systems which are able to self-organize their motion in a periodic way in time. Discrete time crystals have been experimentally demonstrated in spin systems.…
Dynamical phase transition in Floquet optical bistable systems: An approach from finite-size quantum systems
Dynamical response of an optical bistable system to a time-periodic driving field is studied. We found a phase transition in the structure of limit cycle as a function of the frequency of the driving…
Dynamical quantum phase transitions in discrete time crystals
Discrete time crystals are related to non-equilibrium dynamics of periodically driven quantum many-body systems where the discrete time translation symmetry of the Hamiltonian is spontaneously broken…
Period-n Discrete Time Crystals and Quasicrystals with Ultracold Bosons.
TLDR
A Floquet driving that induces clockwise circulation of the particles among the odd sites of the ring which can be mapped to a fully connected model of clocks of two counterrotating species and can be realized with state-of-the-art ultracold atoms experiments.
Dicke time crystals in driven-dissipative quantum many-body systems
The Dicke model -- a paradigmatic example of superradiance in quantum optics -- describes an ensemble of atoms which are collectively coupled to a leaky cavity mode. As a result of the cooperative…
Time Crystals in Open Systems Experiments successfully capture signatures of a discrete time crystal phase in an open , quantummany-body system
T ime crystals, as proposed by Frank Wilczek in 2012, are temporal analogs of conventional space crystals [1]. Just as conventional crystals require the breaking of space translation symmetry, time…

Observation of discrete time-crystalline order in a disordered dipolar many-body system
TLDR
This work observes long-lived temporal correlations, experimentally identifies the phase boundary and finds that the temporal order is protected by strong interactions, which opens the door to exploring dynamical phases of matter and controlling interacting, disordered many-body systems.
Discrete Time Crystals: Rigidity, Criticality, and Realizations.
TLDR
A simple model for a one-dimensional discrete time crystal which explicitly reveals the rigidity of the emergent oscillations as the drive is varied is considered and a blueprint based upon a one dimensional chain of trapped ions is proposed.
Observation of a discrete time crystal
TLDR
The experimental observation of a discrete time crystal, in an interacting spin chain of trapped atomic ions, is presented, which opens the door to the study of systems with long-range spatio-temporal correlations and novel phases of matter that emerge under intrinsically non-equilibrium conditions.

It is shown that for generic nonintegrable interacting systems, local observables become independent of the initial state entirely.

TLDR
A semiclassical Dicke model is derived that exhibits analogues of all the important features of the quantum model, such as the phase transition and the concurrent onset of chaos, and it is demonstrated that the system undergoes a transition from quasi-integrability to quantum chaotic.
Critical Time Crystals in Dipolar Systems.
TLDR
The authors demonstrate the existence of a novel, critical DTC regime that is stabilized not by many-body localization but rather by slow, critical dynamics, and shows that the DTC response can be used as a sensitive probe of nonequilibrium quantum matter.
Critical dynamical properties of a first-order dissipative phase transition
