Colloquium: Quantum and classical discrete time crystals

MP Zaletel, M Lukin, C Monroe, C Nayak, F Wilczek… - Reviews of Modern …, 2023 - APS
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 …

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 …

Observation of a time quasicrystal and its transition to a superfluid time crystal

S Autti, VB Eltsov, GE Volovik - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We report experimental realization of a quantum time quasicrystal and its transformation to a
quantum time crystal. We study Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons, associated with …

Long-lived interacting phases of matter protected by multiple time-translation symmetries in quasiperiodically driven systems

DV Else, WW Ho, PT Dumitrescu - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We show how a large family of interacting nonequilibrium phases of matter can arise from
the presence of multiple time-translation symmetries, which occur by quasiperiodically …

Complete Hilbert-space ergodicity in quantum dynamics of generalized Fibonacci drives

S Pilatowsky-Cameo, CB Dag, WW Ho, S Choi - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Ergodicity of quantum dynamics is often defined through statistical properties of energy
eigenstates, as exemplified by Berry's conjecture in single-particle quantum chaos and the …

Making Trotterization adaptive and energy-self-correcting for NISQ devices and beyond

H Zhao, M Bukov, M Heyl, R Moessner - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
Simulation of continuous-time evolution requires time discretization on both classical and
quantum computers. A finer time step improves simulation precision but it inevitably leads to …

Quantum and classical Floquet prethermalization

WW Ho, T Mori, DA Abanin, EG Dalla Torre - Annals of Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
Time-periodic (Floquet) driving is a powerful way to control the dynamics of complex
systems, which can be used to induce a plethora of new physical phenomena. However …

We present a brief overview of some of the analytic perturbative techniques for the
computation of the Floquet Hamiltonian for a periodically driven, or Floquet, quantum many …

Random multipolar driving: Tunably slow heating through spectral engineering

H Zhao, F Mintert, R Moessner, J Knolle - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Driven quantum systems may realize novel phenomena absent in static systems, but driving-
induced heating can limit the timescale on which these persist. We study heating in …
