Higher-order and fractional discrete time crystals in Floquet-driven Rydberg atoms

Abstract Higher-order and fractional discrete time crystals (DTCs) are exotic phases of matter where the discrete time translation symmetry is broken into higher-order and non-integer category. Generation of these unique DTCs has been widely studied theoretically in different systems. However, no cu...
