Time crystal optomechanics

J. T. Mäkinen, P. J. Heikkinen, S. Autti +2

Time crystals are an enigmatic phase of matter in which a quantum mechanical system displays repetitive, observable motion - they spontaneously break the time translation symmetry.…

Magnon Bose-Einstein condensates: from time crystals and quantum chromodynamics to vortex sensing and cosmology

Jere T. Mäkinen, Samuli Autti, Vladimir B. Eltsov

Under suitable experimental conditions collective spin-wave excitations, magnons, form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) where the spins precess with a globally coherent phase. Bose…

AC Josephson effect between two superfluid time crystals

Samuli Autti, Petri J. Heikkinen, Jere T. Mäkinen +3

Quantum time crystals are systems characterised by spontaneously emerging periodic order in the time domain. A range of such phases has been reported. The concept has even been dis…

Exceeding the Landau superflow speed limit with topological Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces

S. Autti, J. T. Mäkinen, J. Rysti +3

A common property of topological systems is the appearance of topologically protected zero-energy excitations. In a superconductor or superfluid such states set the critical veloci…

Suppressing the Kibble-Zurek mechanism by a symmetry-violating bias

J. Rysti, J. T. Mäkinen, S. Autti +3

The formation of topological defects in continuous phase transitions is driven by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. Here we study the formation of single- and half-quantum vortices durin…
