Time-crystalline eigenstate order on a quantum processor

Time-crystalline eigenstate order on a quantum processor

Abstract Quantum many-body systems display rich phase structure in their low-temperature equilibrium states 1 . However, much of nature is not in thermal equilibrium. Remarkably, it was recently predicted that out-of-equilibrium systems can exhibit novel dynamical phases 2–8 that may otherwise be forbidden by equilibrium thermodynamics, a paradigmatic example being …
