Time crystals generally require active driving of some sort. They have a periodic behavior the opposite of parametric oscillation. A key feature of most time crystals is their long ‘prethermalizing’ behavior which is to say that it behaves like it isn’t thermalized for some very long but finite time. Whether these scars decay similarly especially within this constrained SU(2) space Lukin has cooked up is still out.


Here’s a nice paper on prethermaliztion - https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.04776
