• Abstract summary: We show that a second-order dissipative phase transition of light occurs in the frame rotating at the cavity frequency, while a boundary (dissipative) time crystal emerges in the laboratory frame. Results connect the emergence of a second-order dissipative phase transition and a dissipative time crystal in the thermodynamic limit, allowing to interpret them as the same phenomenon in terms of the Liouvillian spectrum, but just in different frames.

• Abstract: We predict the emergence of a time crystal generated by an incoherently driven and dissipative nonlinear optical oscillator, where the nonlinearity also comes from dissipation. We show that a second-order dissipative phase transition of light occurs in the frame rotating at the cavity frequency, while a boundary (dissipative) time crystal emerges in the laboratory frame. We relate these two phenomena by using the Liouvillian superoperator associated with the Lindblad master equation and its symmetries. These results connect the emergence of a second-order dissipative phase transition and a dissipative time crystal in the thermodynamic limit, allowing to interpret them as the same phenomenon in terms of the Liouvillian spectrum, but just in different frames.

  We study time-crystalline order in periodically driven quantum Ising models on disorder-free decorated lattices. We show through finite entanglement scaling that the system has an exponentially long-lived subharmonic response in the thermodynamic limit. Our results thus uncover a variety of time crystals which may be realized on current digital quantum processors and analog quantum simulators.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We show a sequence of phase transitions from a trivial steady state to two distinct dissipative time crystalline phases. The system is predicted to exhibit different dynamical phases characterized by an oscillating non-equilibrium steady state with non-trivial periodicity. We expect that these phases can be directly probed in various cavity QED experiments.

  We use intuition to predict the formation of non-trivial photonic steady-states in one and two dimensions. We show that subradiant emitter configurations are linked to the emergence of steady-state light-localization in the driven-dissipative setting. These results shed light on the recently reported optically-defined cavities in polaritonic lattices.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
