Emergence and Dynamical Stability of Charge Time-Crystal in a Current-Carrying Quantum Dot Simulator
arXiv:2205.06441 · doi:10.1021/acs.nanolett.2c00976
Abstract
Periodically-driven open quantum systems that never thermalize exhibit a discrete time-crystal behavior, a non-equilibrium quantum phenomenon that has shown promise in quantum information processing applications. Measurements of time-crystallinity are currently limited to (magneto-) optical experiments in atom-cavity systems and spin-systems making it an indirect measurement. We theoretically show that time-crystallinity can be measured directly in the charge-current from a spin-less Hubbard ladder, which can be simulated on a quantum-dot array. We demonstrate that one can dynamically tune the system out and then back into the time-crystal phase, proving its robustness against external forcings. These findings motivate further theoretical and experimental efforts to simulate the time-crystal phenomena in current-carrying nano-scale systems.
