The influence of pump coherence on the generation of position-momentum entanglement in down-conversion

Wuhong Zhang, Robert Fickler, Enno Giese +2

Stabilization and manipulation of multispin states in quantum-dot time crystals with Heisenberg interactions

Edwin Barnes, John M. Nichol, Sophia E. Economou

A discrete time crystal is a recently discovered non-equilibrium phase of matter that has been shown to exist in disordered, periodically driven Ising spin chains. In this phase, i…
