Colloquium: Quantum and classical discrete time crystals
The spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new
phase of matter: the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic …

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 …

A non-equilibrium superradiant phase transition in free space
A class of systems exists in which dissipation, external drive and interactions compete and
give rise to non-equilibrium phases that would not exist without the drive. There, phase …
