- Abstract summary: 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.

- Abstract: For the driven-dissipative system of two coupled bosonic modes in a nonlinear
cavity resonator, we demonstrate a sequence of phase transitions from a trivial
steady state to two distinct dissipative time crystalline phases. These effects
are already anticipated at the level of the semiclassical analysis of the
Lindblad equation using the theory of bifurcations and are further supported by
the full quantum (numerical) treatment. The system is predicted to exhibit
different dynamical phases characterized by an oscillating non-equilibrium
steady state with non-trivial periodicity, which is a hallmark of time
crystals. We expect that these phases can be directly probed in various cavity
QED experiments.

Discrete time crystals are a special phase of matter in which time translational symmetry is broken through a periodic driving pulse.
We first propose and characterize an effective mechanism to generate a stable discrete time crystal phase in a disorder-free many-body system.
We then explore the sensing capability of this system to measure the spin exchange coupling.

We show a dissipative phase transition in a driven nonlinear quantum oscillator in which a discrete time-translation symmetry is broken either continuously or discretely.
The corresponding regimes display either continuous or discrete time crystals, which we analyze numerically and analytically beyond the classical limit.
We discuss this transition between different time-crystal orders in the context of synchronization phenomena.

We study a driven-dissipative nonlinear cavity with both continuous and discontinuous quantum phase transitions.
Considering both direct photodetection and homodyne detection schemes, we find that the current fluctuations diverge exponentially at the discontinuous phase transition.
