• Abstract summary: We consider an autonomous system of two coupled single-mode cavities, one of which interacts with a multimode resonator. For small coupling strengths between single-mode cavities, the Loschmidt echo oscillates periodically in time. We demonstrate that the transition from non-ergodic to ergodic system's behavior can also be observed when changing the number of degrees of freedom in the resonator.

• Abstract: We consider an autonomous system of two coupled single-mode cavities, one of which interacts with a multimode resonator. We demonstrate that for small coupling strengths between single-mode cavities, the Loschmidt echo oscillates periodically in time and spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry takes place. The Loschmidt echo behavior is an indication of the non-ergodic nature of the system when its evolution is time-reversible. In this regime, the system retains a memory of the initial state under the action of small perturbations. This behavior reveals the presence of a time crystalline order in the autonomous system. An increase in the coupling strength leads to a transition from periodic oscillations to an exponential decay in time of the Loschmidt echo. This corresponds to the transition from non-ergodic to ergodic behavior in the system. We demonstrate that the transition from non-ergodic to ergodic system's behavior can also be observed when changing the number of degrees of freedom in the resonator, which is achieved by changing its length.

  We study the dynamics of a qubit system interacting with thermalized bath-ancilla spins via a repeated interaction scheme. Our key finding is that deterministic system-ancilla interactions do not typically result in the system thermalizing to the thermal state of the ancilla.

  Investigation of discrete-time transport in a generic U(1)-symmetric disordered model tuned across an array of different dynamical regimes. We develop an aggregate quantity, a circular statistical moment, which is a simple function of the magnetization profile. From this quantity we extract transport exponents, revealing behaviors across the phase diagram consistent with localized, diffusive, and - most interestingly for a disordered system - superdiffusive regimes.

  We propose a class of discrete time crystals enforced by nonsymmorphic dynamical symmetry. The exact solution of the time-dependent Schr"odinger equation shows that the system spontaneously exhibits a period extension. We show that the subharmonic response is stable even when many-body interactions are introduced, indicating a DTC phase in the thermodynamic limit.

We anticipate that the basic ideas inspiring our work can be applied to a large variety of interesting for the applications nano-systems.
