摘要
Time crystals are quantum systems that are able to reveal condensed matter behavior in the time domain. It is known that crystallization in time can be observed in a periodically driven many-body system when interactions between particles force a system to evolve with a period that is an integer multiple of a driving period. This phenomenon is dubbed discrete time crystal formation. Here, we consider ultracold atoms bouncing on an oscillating atom mirror and show that the system can spontaneously form a discrete time crystal where the ratio of a period of its motion and a driving period is a rational number. This kind of discrete time crystal requires higher-order resonant driving, which is analyzed here with the help of an original approach.
