Time crystals: a review

K Sacha, J Zakrzewski - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Time crystals are time-periodic self-organized structures postulated by Frank Wilczek in
2012. While the original concept was strongly criticized, it stimulated at the same time an …

Two-terminal transport measurements with cold atoms

S Krinner, T Esslinger, JP Brantut - Journal of Physics …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
