Classical stochastic discrete time crystals (2019)
Journal Article
Gambetta, F. M., Carollo, F., Lazarides, A., Lesanovsky, I., & Garrahan, J. P. (2019). Classical stochastic discrete time crystals. Physical Review E, 100(6), Article 060105(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.100.060105

© 2019 American Physical Society. We describe a general and simple paradigm for discrete time crystals (DTCs), systems with a stable subharmonic response to an external driving field, in a classical thermal setting. We consider, specifically, an Isin... Read More about Classical stochastic discrete time crystals.

Open quantum systems with chiral interactions can be realized by coupling atoms to guided radiation modes in photonic waveguides or optical fibres. In their steady state these systems can feature intricate many-body phases such as entangled dark stat...

We introduce a scheme to entangle Rydberg ions in a linear ion crystal, using the high electric polarizability of the Rydberg electronic states in combination with mutual Coulomb coupling of ions that establishes common modes of motion. After laser i... Read More about Shuttling of Rydberg ions for fast entangling operations.
