Observation of a Prethermal U(1) Discrete Time Crystal

A time crystal is a state of periodically driven matter that breaks discrete time-translation symmetry. Time crystals have been demonstrated experimentally in various programmable quantum simulators, and they exemplify how nonequilibrium, driven quantum systems can exhibit intriguing and robust prop...
