• Abstract: In this paper, we report findings of non-stationary behavior observed in a fully connected qubit network, utilizing a random unitary evolution model in open quantum system theory. The environmental effect is reflected in the partial swap (PSW) interaction between pairs of qubits with a certain probability. Our study begins with a simple Ising-type Hamiltonian and through many iterations of random unitary evolution, a non-stationary oscillatory state may arise, which encodes certain memory of the initial state. The non-trivial periodic motion of some local observables is indicative of a continuous time crystal phase. We also explore the extension of our study to other types of Hamiltonians and demonstrate that this non-stationary behavior is widespread in our model due to the generalized dynamical symmetry. Remarkably, both theoretical and numerical analysis support the robustness of the constructed time crystal phase to most types of noise. Our research provides a new perspective for constructing the time crystal phase in an open system model.

  We characterize the dynamical properties of a disordered spin chain, focusing on the spin-glass regime. We explain these oscillations deep in the many-body localized spin glass regime via a simple theoretical model. Our work suggests that RG predictions can be quantitatively tested against numerical simulations and experiments, potentially enabling microscopic descriptions of dynamical phases in large systems.

Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
