Continuous space-time crystal state driven by nonreciprocal optical forces

We show that the continuous time crystal state can arise in an ensemble of linear oscillators from nonconservative coupling via optical radiation pressure forces. This new mechanism comprehensively explains observations of the time crystal state in an array of nanowires illuminated with light [T. Li...
