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…

Dissipative time crystals can appear in spin systems, when the $Z_2$ symmetry of the Hamiltonian is broken by the environment, and the square of total spin operator $S^2$ is conserved. In this manuscript, we relax the latter condition and…
