Time crystallinity in dissipative Floquet systems
Achilleas Lazarides, Sthitadhi Roy, Francesco Piazza, Roderich Moessner
Abstract
The authors address the question of time crystallinity in a dissipative periodically-driven quantum system, identifying general conditions for its stability. The paper concludes that this type of dissipative time crystal is conceptually and phenomenologically different from unitary discrete time crystals.
