Observation of a Rydberg-atom time crystal with an ultralong lifetime
Qi-Feng Wang, Tian-Yu Han, Ya-Jun Wang +9
Continuous time crystals (CTCs) represent a nonequilibrium quantum phase that spontaneously breaks time-translation symmetry without periodic external driving, manifesting as persi…
Observation of node-dependent Rydberg molecular bound states
Qing Li, Shi-Yao Shao, Jun Zhang +6
Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules, formed by the interaction between a highly excited Rydberg atom and a ground-state atom, provide a unique platform for exploring quantum phenomen…
Enhanced multi-parameter metrology in dissipative Rydberg atom time crystals
Bang Liu, Jun-Rong Chen, Yu Ma +10
The pursuit of unprecedented sensitivity in quantum enhanced metrology has spurred interest in non-equilibrium quantum phases of matter and their symmetry breaking. In particular,…
Observation of Discrete Time Quasicrystal in Rydberg Atomic Gases
Dong-Yang Zhu, Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Qi-Feng Wang +17
Discrete time quasicrystals (DTQC) constitute a class of non-equilibrium matter characterized by temporal order without strict periodicity, in contrast to conventional time crystal…
Quantum synchronization at the critical point of Floquet driven Rydberg atoms
Bang Liu, Li-Hua Zhang, Yu Ma +13
The criticality enhanced correlations and susceptibility allow weak periodic driving to induce collective synchronization due to critical slowing down, providing a unique platform…
