- Abstract summary: We develop and study an atom-only description of the Dicke model with time-periodic couplings between atoms and a dissipative cavity mode.
The cavity mode is eliminated giving rise to effective atom-atom interactions and dissipation.
We show that the atom-only theory can describe the relaxation into such a dissipative time crystal and that the damping rate can be understood in terms of a cooling mechanism.

- Abstract: We develop and study an atom-only description of the Dicke model with time-periodic couplings between atoms and a dissipative cavity mode. The cavity mode is eliminated giving rise to effective atom-atom interactions and dissipation. We use this effective description to analyze the dynamics of the atoms that undergo a transition to a dynamical superradiant phase with macroscopic coherences in the atomic medium and the light field. Using Floquet theory in combination with the atom-only description we provide a precise determination of the phase boundaries and of the dynamical response of the atoms. From this we can predict the existence of dissipative time crystals that show a subharmonic response with respect to the driving frequency. We show that the atom-only theory can describe the relaxation into such a dissipative time crystal and that the damping rate can be understood in terms of a cooling mechanism.

We demonstrate that the time evolution of the propagating fields, due to interaction, encapsulates all information about the atom.

We show that the effect of the plate is to increase the probability of emission when the atom is near the plate and oscillates along a direction perpendicular to it.

We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state.
Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system.
We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

We propose an explanation based upon strong-disorder renormalization group theory.
