Absolutely stable time crystals at finite temperature
Francisco Machado, Quntao Zhuang, Norman Y. Yao +1
We show that locally-interacting, periodically-driven (Floquet) Hamiltonian dynamics coupled to a Langevin bath support finite-temperature discrete time crystals (DTC) with an infi…
Observation of a many-body-localized discrete time crystal with a programmable spin-based quantum simulator
J. Randall, C. E. Bradley, F. V. van der Gronden +7
The discrete time crystal (DTC) is a recently discovered phase of matter that spontaneously breaks time-translation symmetry. Disorder-induced many-body-localization is required to…
Quantum gas microscopy of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang superdiffusion
David Wei, Antonio Rubio-Abadal, Bingtian Ye +9
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class describes the coarse-grained behavior of a wealth of classical stochastic models. Surprisingly, it was recently conjectured to also…
Emergent hydrodynamics in a strongly interacting dipolar spin ensemble
Chong Zu, Francisco Machado, Bingtian Ye +12
Conventional wisdom holds that macroscopic classical phenomena naturally emerge from microscopic quantum laws. However, despite this mantra, building direct connections between the…
Floquet Phases of Matter via Classical Prethermalization
Bingtian Ye, Francisco Machado, Norman Y. Yao
We demonstrate that the prethermal regime of periodically driven (Floquet), classical many-body systems can host nonequilibrium phases of matter. In particular, we show that there…
Probing many-body dynamics in a two dimensional dipolar spin ensemble
Emily J. Davis, Bingtian Ye, Francisco Machado +13
The most direct approach for characterizing the quantum dynamics of a strongly-interacting system is to measure the time-evolution of its full many-body state. Despite the conceptu…
Observation of a prethermal discrete time crystal
Antonis Kyprianidis, Francisco Machado, William Morong +9
The conventional framework for defining and understanding phases of matter requires thermodynamic equilibrium. Extensions to non-equilibrium systems have led to surprising insights…
