Dynamics of a Space-Time Crystal in an Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensate
Lei Liao, Jasper Smits, Peter van der Straten +1
A space-time crystal has recently been observed in a superfluid Bose gas. Here we construct a variational model that allows us to describe from first principles the coupling betwee…

Observation of a space-time crystal in a superfluid quantum gas
Jasper Smits, Lei Liao, Henk Stoof +1
Time crystals are a phase of matter, for which the discrete time symmetry of the driving Hamiltonian is spontaneously broken. The breaking of discrete time symmetry has been observ…
