Taming nonlinear energy diffusion: The case of time-crystal energy condensates
P. I. Hurtado, G. Cortés-Guillén
We study a bulk-driven nonlinear variant of the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti model of stochastic energy diffusion in which local collisions are biased to induce a net energy flow, res…
Squeezing light to get nonclassical work in quantum engines
A. Tejero, D. Manzano, P. I. Hurtado
Light can be squeezed by reducing the quantum uncertainty of the electric field for some phases. We show how to use this purely quantum effect to extract net mechanical work from r…
Scaling laws for stationary Navier-Stokes-Fourier flows and the unreasonable effectiveness of hydrodynamics at the molecular level
P. I. Hurtado, J. J. del Pozo, P. L. Garrido
Hydrodynamics provides a universal description of the emergent collective dynamics of vastly different many-body systems, based solely on their symmetries and conservation laws. He…
Critical behavior of a programmable time-crystal lattice gas
R. Hurtado-Gutiérrez, C. Pérez-Espigares, P. I. Hurtado
Time crystals are many-body systems whose ground state spontaneously breaks time-translation symmetry and thus exhibits long-range spatiotemporal order and robust periodic motion.…
Programmable time crystals from higher-order packing fields
R. Hurtado-Gutiérrez, C. Pérez-Espigares, P. I. Hurtado
Time crystals are many-body systems that spontaneously break time-translation symmetry, and thus exhibit long-range spatiotemporal order and robust periodic motion. Recent results…
