PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. “We have seen that a resonantly driven single particle can behave in the time domain like an electron moving in a space crystal. One may raise the question if many-body condensed matter phenomena can be observed in the time dimension too?” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

TEASER. “What do the pyramids of Giza and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa have in common with Twitter and Pepsi?” https://lnkd.in/ejjhttcs View in LinkedIn

RANGE OF FORMS. “We have seen that different crystalline structures can be realized in the time domain by means of resonant driving of a periodically moving particle.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this second and last weekend on time crystals, a topic so far our that it is hard to even imagine. But it is clear that we have only just started scratching the surface of the places where numbers fail, physics needs new laws, and everything goes pear-shaped; these include black holes, where time is speculated to cease, antimatter stars, strange matter stars, magnetars, and other extreme astrophysical places. https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

NEW VISTAS. “The application of big discrete time crystals to condensed matter physics in the time dimension has opened up a rich new area of research ready to be exploited experimentally.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

THEORY. “Condensed matter phenomena in the time dimension that have been predicted to date include Anderson and many-body localization due to temporal disorder, topological time crystals, quasi-crystal structures in time, and Mott insulator phases in time.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

MULTIDIMENSIONAL. “The latter configuration supports a versatile Möbius strip geometry that can host a variety of time lattices such as a honeycomb time lattice and a Lieb square time lattice. By combining 3D time lattices with 3D space lattices, it is possible to create 6D time-space lattices.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

PLATFORM. “Big discrete time crystals created by a Bose-Einstein condensate of ultracold atoms bouncing resonantly on an oscillating atom mirror provide a highly flexible platform for investigating a broad range of condensed matter phenomena in the time dimension.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

ENERGY BANDS. “It is worth mentioning that we consider here deep optical lattice potentials which can host many energy bands, and highly excited bands (with energies close to the barrier between the potential wells) are resonantly coupled by the shaking.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

EXPANDING DIMENSIONS. “We live in a 3D space and spatial crystals of dimension up to three can be observed and investigated. We have seen that time appears as a degree of freedom where a crystalline behavior can be created too. Combining space and time lattices, we should be able to create crystals of dimension higher than three. Surprisingly, such time-space crystals can be even six-dimensional as we will show in the following.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
