Eigenstate phases such as the discrete time crystal exhibit an inherent instability upon the coupling to an environment, which restores equipartition of energy and therefore acts against the protecting nonergodicity. Here, we demonstrate…
Within random matrix theory, the statistics of the eigensolutions depend fundamentally on the presence (or absence) of time reversal symmetry. Accepting the Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture, this statement extends to quantum systems with…
