Time Crystals: Formation, Properties, and Applications in Periodically Driven Systems

Explore the fascinating world of time crystals in this comprehensive lecture by Prof. Krzysztof Sacha from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Jagiellonian University, Kraków. Delve into the creation of time crystalline structures in periodically driven systems and their exhibition of various condensed matter properties. Discover how time crystals can spontaneously form in periodically driven many-body systems. Gain insights into both methods of creating time crystals and learn about the emerging field of time-tronics, which involves building useful systems where crystalline structures in time play a crucial role. This Wednesday colloquium at CTP PAS, delivered on 2023-11-22, offers a comprehensive overview of this cutting-edge area of physics research in just over an hour.
