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

Modeling spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry

K Sacha - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We show that an ultracold atomic cloud bouncing on an oscillating mirror can reveal
spontaneous breaking of a discrete time-translation symmetry. In many-body simulations, we …

A Trenkwalder, G Spagnolli, G Semeghini, S Coop… - Nature physics, 2016 - nature.com
Symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions play a key role in several condensed matter,
cosmology and nuclear physics theoretical models,,. Its observation in real systems is often …

Time crystals: Analysis of experimental conditions

K Giergiel, A Kosior, P Hannaford, K Sacha - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
Time crystals are quantum many-body systems which are able to self-organize their motion
in a periodic way in time. Discrete time crystals have been experimentally demonstrated in …

Discrete time quasicrystals

K Giergiel, A Kuroś, K Sacha - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Between space crystals and amorphous materials there exists a third class of aperiodic
structures which lack translational symmetry but reveal long-range order. They are dubbed …

Dynamical quantum phase transitions in discrete time crystals

A Kosior, K Sacha - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
Discrete time crystals are related to nonequilibrium dynamics of periodically driven quantum
many-body systems where the discrete time-translation symmetry of the Hamiltonian is …

Macroscopic self-trap** in Bose-Einstein condensates: Analysis of a dynamical quantum phase transition

B Juliá-Díaz, D Dagnino, M Lewenstein, J Martorell… - Physical Review A …, 2010 - APS
We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential undergoing a dynamical
transition from the regime of Josephson oscillations to the regime of self-trap**. We …

Bell correlations of a thermal fully connected spin chain in the vicinity of a quantum critical point

DA Hamza, J Chwedeńczuk - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
Bell correlations are among the most exotic of the phenomena through which quantum
mechanics manifests itself. Their presence signals that the system may violate the postulates …

Shortcuts to adiabatic cat-state generation in bosonic Josephson junctions

T Hatomura - New Journal of Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a quantum speedup method for adiabatic generation of cat states in bosonic
Josephson junctions via shortcuts to adiabaticity. We apply approximated counter-diabatic …
