In particular, we focus on "discrete time crystals", which are many-body phases of matter characterized by a spontaneously broken discrete time translation symmetry. We give a definition of discrete time crystals from several points of view, emphasizing that they are a non-equilibrium phenomenon, ...
Time crystals represent temporal analogues of the spatial self-ordering exhibited by atomic or molecular building blocks of solid-state crystals. The pursuit of discrete time crystals (DTCs) in periodically forced Floquet closed systems has revealed how they can evade thermalization and loss of tempora...

An international team of physicists has shown that novel non-equilibrium phases of matter — called prethermal discrete time crystals (DTCs) — can emerge in classical dynamics and do not depend on quantum mechanics. This makes large simulations with relevance to experiments possible. ...

We review the application of discrete time crystals created in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold atoms bouncing resonantly on an oscillating at
phase-locked-loop or monostable oscillator. Electronic or mechanical switching between frequency determining components such as resistors or crystals is also used in order to control as many oscillators as frequencies which are required. A small set of fixed frequencies may be heterodyned to create a...
Discrete time crystals attract considerable attention: they are examples of quantum many-body systems that break ergodicity and they are believed to be resistant to decoherence. Moreover, discrete time crystals have been already demonstrated in the laboratory and further experiments are being planned....
