A Decade of Time Crystals: Quo Vadis?
arXiv:2204.06381 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/ac796d
Abstract
Ten years ago, the new era of time crystals began. Time crystals are systems that behave in the time dimension like ordinary space crystals do in space dimensions. We present a brief history of a decade of research on time crystals, describe current research directions, indicate challenges, and discuss some future perspectives for condensed matter physics in the time domain.
