Fate of a discrete time crystal in an open system

A Lazarides, R Moessner - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Following the recent realization that periodically driven quantum matter can support new
types of spatiotemporal order, now known as discrete time crystals (DTCs), we consider the …

Systematic generation of the cascade of anomalous dynamical first-and higher-order modes in Floquet topological insulators

AK Ghosh, T Nag, A Saha - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
After extensive investigation of the Floquet second-order topological insulator (FSOTI) in two
