Time crystals: a review

K Sacha, J Zakrzewski - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Time crystals are time-periodic self-organized structures postulated by Frank Wilczek in
2012. While the original concept was strongly criticized, it stimulated at the same time an …

Quantum fluids of light

chains, for the benefit of students and non-experts. Starting from the Jordan-Wigner …

Many-body localization in waveguide quantum electrodynamics

N Fayard, L Henriet, A Asenjo-Garcia, DE Chang - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
At the quantum many-body level, atom-light interfaces generally remain challenging to solve
for or understand in a nonperturbative fashion. Here we consider a waveguide quantum …

Cold atoms in the presence of disorder

B Shapiro - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The review deals with the physics of cold atomic gases in the presence of disorder. The
emphasis is on the theoretical developments, although several experiments are also briefly …

Superdiffusive transport on lattices with nodal impurities

YP Wang, J Ren, C Fang - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We show that one-dimensional lattice models exhibit superdiffusive transport in the
presence of random nodal impurities in the absence of interaction. Here a nodal impurity is …

Time crystals: Analysis of experimental conditions

K Giergiel, A Kosior, P Hannaford, K Sacha - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
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 …

Bounds on the entanglement entropy by the number entropy in non-interacting fermionic systems

M Kiefer-Emmanouilidis, R Unanyan, J Sirker… - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
Entanglement in a pure state of a many-body system can be characterized by the R\'enyi
entropies $ S^{(\alpha)}=\ln\textrm {tr}(\rho^\alpha)/(1-\alpha) $ of the reduced density matrix …

Time crystal platform: From quasicrystal structures in time to systems with exotic interactions

K Giergiel, A Miroszewski, K Sacha - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
Time crystals are quantum many-body systems that, due to interactions between particles,
are able to spontaneously self-organize their motion in a periodic way in time by analogy …
