• Authors: Jayson G. Cosme, Jim Skulte, Ludwig Mathey
• Abstract summary: We elucidate the role that the dissipation in a bosonic channel plays in the prevalence and stability of time crystals (TCs) in a periodically driven spin-boson system. For strong dissipation, we study the dynamics using an effective atom-only description and the closed Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. We find TCs in both closed-system and dissipative regimes, but dissipative TCs are shown to be more robust against random noise in the drive.

• Abstract: We elucidate the role that the dissipation in a bosonic channel plays in the prevalence and stability of time crystals (TCs) in a periodically driven spin-boson system described by the Dicke model. Here, the bosons are represented by photons, and they mediate the infinite-range interactions between the spin systems. For strong dissipation, we study the dynamics using an effective atom-only description and the closed Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. By mapping out the phase diagrams for varying dissipation strengths, ranging from zero to infinitely strong, we demonstrate that the area in the phase diagram, where a TC exists, grows with the dissipation strength but only up to an optimal point, beyond which most of the TCs become unstable. We find TCs in both closed-system and dissipative regimes, but dissipative TCs are shown to be more robust against random noise in the drive, and are only weakly affected by the choice of initial state. We present the finite-sized behaviour and the scaling of the lifetime of the TCs with respect to the number of spins and the interaction strength within a fully quantum mechanical description.

• Self-Organized Time Crystal in Driven-Dissipative Quantum System [0.0]
  Continuous time crystals (CTCs) are characterized by sustained oscillations that break the time translation symmetry. We propose a new kind of CTC realized in a quantum contact model through self-organized bistability. Our results serve as a solid route towards self-protected CTCs in strongly interacting open systems.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

• Clean two-dimensional Floquet time-crystal [68.8204255655161]
  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.

  We investigate the possibility of a emphcontinuous time crystal (CTC) in undriven, energy-conserving systems exhibiting prethermalization. We map out the dynamical phase diagram using numerical simulations based on exact diagonalization and time-dependent variational principle in the thermodynamic limit. We identify a regime where QMBS and CTC order co-exist, and we discuss experimental protocols that reveal their similarities as well as key differences.

• Criticality and Rigidity of Dissipative Discrete Time Crystals in Solids [0.0]
  We consider a dissipative quantum Ising model periodically driven by a train of $pi$-pulses and investigate dissipative discrete time crystals (DTCs) in solids. In this model, the interaction between the spins spontaneously breaks the discrete time translation symmetry, giving rise to a dissipative DTC. We microscopically describe the generic dissipation due to thermal contact to an equilibrium heat bath using the Bloch-Redfield equation.
