Route to Extend the Lifetime of a Discrete Time Crystal in a Finite Spin Chain without Disorder

Periodically driven (Floquet) systems are described by time-dependent Hamiltonians that possess discrete time translation symmetry. The spontaneous breaking of this symmetry leads to the emergence of a novel non-equilibrium phase of matter—the Discrete Time Crystal (DTC). In this paper, we propose a...
