Lack of a genuine time crystal in a chiral soliton model
arXiv:2005.12313 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.032038
Abstract
In a recent publication [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 124}, 178902] Öhberg and Wright claim that in a chiral soliton model it is possible to realize a genuine time crystal which corresponds to a periodic evolution of an inhomogeneous probability density in the lowest energy state. We show that this result is incorrect and present a solution which possesses lower energy with the corresponding probability density that does not reveal any motion. It implies that the authors' conclusion that a genuine time crystal can exist in the system they consider is not true.
