Classical Time Crystals | Alfred Shapere
; Frank Wilczek
; | Date: |
12 Feb 2012 | Abstract: | We consider the possibility that classical dynamical systems display motion
in their lowest energy state, forming a time analogue of crystalline spatial
order. Challenges facing that idea are identified and overcome. We display
arbitrary orbits of an angular variable as lowest-energy trajectories for
nonsingular Lagrangian systems. Dynamics within orbits of broken symmetry
provide a natural arena for formation of time crystals. We exhibit models of
that kind, including a model with traveling density waves. | Source: | arXiv, 1202.2537 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
