Creating big time crystals with ultracold atoms

We investigate the size of discrete time crystals s (ratio of response period to driving period) that can be created for a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) bouncing resonantly on an oscillating mirror. We find that time crystals can be created with sizes in the range s ≈ 20–100 and that such big time...
