Floquet Time Crystals.
We define what it means for time translation symmetry to be spontaneously broken in a quantum system and show with analytical arguments and numerical simulations that this occurs in a large class of many-body-localized driven systems with discrete time-translation symmetry.
متن کاملPre-thermal Time Crystals and Floquet topological phases without disorder
We show that both discrete and continuous time-translation symmetry can be broken in the prethermal regime of quantum systems that eventually thermalize. We prove a theorem that states that such “time crystals” persist until times that are nearly exponentially-long in the couplings and, in driven systems, the drive frequency. After this thermalization time, the time-translational symmetry break...
متن کاملThermodynamics and order beyond equilibrium – from Floquet thermalisation to time crystals
The field of thermodynamics is one of the crown jewels of classical physics. However, only comparatively recently, due to the advent of experiments in cold atomic systems with long coherence times, has our detailed understanding of its connection to quantum statistical mechanics seen remarkable progress. Extending these ideas and concepts to the non-equilibrium setting is a challenging topic, i...
متن کاملTime Crystals
In this talk we will discuss the new idea of "Time Crystals" †. The most important idea in physics is that physics laws are governed by symmetry. Equally important is the result of symmetry breaking. A standard example of symmetry breaking is the existence of crystals: the symmetry breaking of the continuous spatial translation symmetry to the discrete spatial translation symmetry gives the var...
متن کاملOn the Floquet formulation of time-dependent density functional theory
The time-periodic density of a Floquet state of a time-periodic potential does not uniquely determine that potential. A simple example demonstrates this, and the implications are discussed. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Ground-state density functional theory (DFT) [1] has been tremendously successful in predicting the electronic structure of atoms, molecules and solids relatively inex...
