Prethermal time crystals in a one-dimensional periodically driven Floquet system
Prethermal time crystals in a one-dimensional periodically driven Floquet system
Motivated by experimental observations of time-symmetry breaking behavior in a periodically driven (Floquet) system, we study a one-dimensional spin model to explore the stability of such Floquet discrete time crystals (DTCs) under the interplay between interaction and the microwave driving. For intermediate interactions and high drivings, from the time evolution …
