A dissipative time crystal with or without Z2 symmetry breaking

We study an emergent semiclassical time crystal composed of two interacting driven-dissipative bosonic modes. The system has a discrete ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ spatial symmetry which, depending on the strength of the drive, can be broken in the time-crystalline phase or it cannot. An exact semiclassical...
