Signatures of discrete time-crystallinity in transport through an open Fermionic chain

Time-crystals describe a system with broken symmetry in the temporal as well as spatial dimension and have, so far, been limited to observations using magneto-optical experiments. As an alternative, the authors theoretically propose how to observe discrete time-crystals by measuring the transport pr...

description Time-crystals describe a system with broken symmetry in the temporal as well as spatial dimension and have, so far, been limited to observations using magneto-optical experiments. As an alternative, the authors theoretically propose how to observe discrete time-crystals by measuring the transport properties of a quantum dot array.
