- Abstract: We argue that time crystal properties naturally arise from phase-space
noncommutative quantum mechanics. In order to exemplify our point we consider
the 2-dimensional noncommutative quantum harmonic oscillator and show that it
exibihits periodic oscillations that can be identified as time crystals.

Time crystals manifest as stable and periodic behavior that breaks time translation symmetry.
In an open quantum system, many-body interaction subjected to dissipation allows one to develop the time crystalline order in an unprecedented way.
We report the observation of a time crystal comb in the continuously driven-dissipative and strongly interacting Rydberg thermal gas.

We report the experimental observation of such dissipative time crystalline order in a room-temperature atomic gas.
The observed limit cycles arise from the coexistence and competition between distinct Rydberg components.
The nondecaying autocorrelation of the oscillation, together with the robustness against temporal noises, indicate the establishment of true long-range temporal order.

We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.
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.

A natural extension of our analysis shows how the spontaneous formation of time quasi-crystals can arise.

This allows us to probe the fluctuations in an experiment using two strongly coupled parametric resonators subject to classical noise.

We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.
