Time Crystals: Past, Present, and Future

Prof. Frank Wilczek, Center for Theoretical Physics, MIT, Cambridge, USA

Wilczek received a B.S. at the University of Chicago in 1970, and a PhD in physics at Princeton University in 1974. Currently he is the Herman Feshbach professor of physics at the MIT; Founding Director of the T. D. Lee Institute and Chief Scientist at Wilczek Quantum Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Distinguished Professor at Arizona State University; and Professor at Stockholm University. He has been married to Betsy Devine since 1973. They have two daughters, Amity and Mira. Abstract: I will start by discussing the concept of time crystals and reviewing, from a new perspective, some classic realizations of it. Then I will discuss recent experimental and theoretical work that brings in promising new ideas. Finally, I will discuss some exploratory ideas about the meaning of time in quantum theory, including the flow of time within “stationary” states.
