A Li\'enard type nonlinear oscillator of the form $\ddot{x}+kx\dot{x}+\frac{k^2}{9}x^3+\lambda_1 x=0$, which may also be considered as a generalized Emden type equation, is shown to possess unusual nonlinear dynamical properties. It is…
Time crystals are many-body systems whose ground state spontaneously breaks time-translation symmetry and thus exhibits long-range spatiotemporal order and robust periodic motion. Using hydrodynamics, we have recently shown how an…

Time crystals are exotic phases of matter characterized by a broken time-translational symmetry, such that the ground state of the system evolves in time in a periodic fashion. Even though the time-crystal concept was introduced relatively…
We define what it means for time translation symmetry to be spontaneously broken in a quantum system, and show with analytical arguments and numerical simulations that this occurs in a large class of many-body-localized driven systems with…
Boundary time crystals exhibit spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry through persistent periodic oscillations in driven-dissipative many-body systems. Here, we show that multilevel interference provides a natural…
The spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new phase of matter - the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic oscillations, which result from a combination of many-body…
Non hermitian Hamiltonians play an important role in the study of dissipative quantum systems. We show that using states with time dependent normalization can simplify the description of such systems especially in the context of the…
Motivated by improving the understanding of the quantum-to-classical transition we use a simple model of classical discrete interactions for studying the discrete-to-continuous transition in the classical harmonic oscillator. A parallel is…

We consider an autonomous system of two coupled single-mode cavities, one of which interacts with a multimode resonator. We demonstrate that for small coupling strengths between single-mode cavities, the Loschmidt echo oscillates…
Time crystals are many-body states that spontaneously break translation symmetry in time the way that ordinary crystals do in space. While experimental observations have confirmed the existence of discrete or continuous time crystals, these…

We examine the stick-slip fluctuating response of a rough massive non-rotating cylinder moving on a rough inclined groove which is submitted to weak external perturbations and which is maintained well below the angle of repose. The…
A limit cycle is a self-sustained periodic motion appearing in autonomous ordinary differential equations. As the period of the limit cycle is a-priori unknown, it is challenging to find them as stationary states of a rotating ansatz.…
Time-decaying harmonic oscillators yield dispersive estimates with weak decay, and change the threshold power of the nonlinearity between the short and the long range. In the non-critical case for the time-decaying harmonic oscillator, this…
