Dissipative discrete time crystals in a pump-modulated Kerr microcavity
Discrete time crystals are a new state of matter emerging via spontaneous discrete translational symmetry breaking in time. The authors demonstrate that a dissipative discrete time crystal appears in an optical microcavity pumped by a phase-modulated continuous wave laser, offering a new route to st...
