We describe a possible general and simple paradigm in a classical thermal setting for discrete time crystals (DTCs), systems with stable dynamics which is subharmonic to the driving frequency thus breaking discrete time-translational invariance. We consider specifically an Ising model in two dimensions, as a prototypical system with a phase transition into stable phases distinguished by a local order parameter, driven by a thermal dynamics and periodically kicked. We show that for a wide parameter range a stable DTC emerges. The phase transition to the DTC state appears to be in the equilibrium 2D Ising class when dynamics is observed stroboscopically. However, we show that the DTC is a genuine non-equilibrium state. More generally, we speculate that systems with thermal phase transitions to multiple competing phases can give rise to DTCs when appropriately driven.

We study seasonal epidemic spreading in a susceptible-infected-removed-susceptible (SIRS) model on smallworld graphs. We derive a mean-field description that accurately captures the salient features of the model, most notably a phase transition betwe en annual and biennial outbreaks. A numerical scaling analysis exhibits a diverging autocorrelation time in the thermodynamic limit, which confirms the presence of a classical discrete time crystalline phase. We derive the phase diagram of the model both from mean-field theory and from numerics. Our work offers new perspectives by demonstrating that small-worldness and non-Markovianity can stabilize a classical discrete time crystal, and by linking recent efforts to understand such dynamical phases of matter to the century-old problem of biennial epidemics.
We demonstrate that the prethermal regime of periodically-driven, classical many-body systems can host non-equilibrium phases of matter. In particular, we show that there exists an effective Hamiltonian, which captures the dynamics of ensembles of cl assical trajectories, despite the breakdown of this description at the single trajectory level. In addition, we prove that the effective Hamiltonian can host emergent symmetries protected by the discrete time-translation symmetry of the drive. The spontaneous breaking of such an emergent symmetry leads to a sub-harmonic response, characteristic of time crystalline order, that survives to exponentially late times. To this end, we numerically demonstrate the existence of prethermal time crystals in both a one-dimensional, long-range interacting spin chain and a nearest-neighbor spin model on a two-dimensional square lattice.

In recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett {bf 121}, 070601 (2018), arXiv:1802.06554], the speed limit for classical stochastic Markov processes is considered, and a trade-off inequality between the speed of the state transformation and the entropy production is given. In this comment, a more accurate inequality will be presented.
We adapt the time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) algorithm, originally devised to simulate the dynamics of 1D quantum systems, to simulate the time-evolution of non-equilibrium stochastic systems. We describe this method in detail; a systems probab ility distribution is represented by a matrix product state (MPS) of finite dimension and then its time-evolution is efficiently simulated by repeatedly updating and approximately re-factorizing this representation. We examine the use of MPS as an approximation method, looking at parallels between the interpretations of applying it to quantum state vectors and probability distributions. In the context of stochastic systems we consider two types of factorization for use in the TEBD algorithm: non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), which ensures that the approximate probability distribution is manifestly non-negative, and the singular value decomposition (SVD). Comparing these factorizations we find the accuracy of the SVD to be substantially greater than current NMF algorithms. We then apply TEBD to simulate the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) for systems of up to hundreds of lattice sites in size. Using exact analytic results for the TASEP steady state, we find that TEBD reproduces this state such that the error in calculating expectation values can be made negligible, even when severely compressing the description of the system by restricting the dimension of the MPS to be very small. Out of the steady state we show for specific observables that expectation values converge as the dimension of the MPS is increased to a moderate size.

In this paper we present the concept of description of random processes in complex systems with the discrete time. It involves the description of kinetics of discrete processes by means of the chain of finite-difference non-Markov equations for time correlation functions (TCF). We have introduced the dynamic (time dependent) information Shannon entropy $S_i(t)$ where i=0,1,2,3,... as an information measure of stochastic dynamics of time correlation $(i=0)$ and time memory (i=1,2,3,...). The set of functions $S_i(t)$ constitute the quantitative measure of time correlation disorder $(i=0)$ and time memory disorder (i=1,2,3,...) in complex system. Harnessing the infinite set of orthogonal dynamic random variables on a basis of Gram-Shmidt orthogonalization procedure tends to creation of infinite chain of finite-difference non-Markov kinetic equations for discrete TCF and memory function.The solution of the equations above thereof brings to the recurrence relations between the TCF and MF of senior and junior orders. The results obtained offer considerable scope for attack on stochastic dynamics of discrete random processes in a complex systems. Application of this technique on the analysis of stochastic dynamics of RR-intervals from human ECGs shows convincing evidence for a non-Markovian phenomemena associated with a peculiarities in short and long-range scaling. This method may be of use in distinguishing healthy from pathologic data sets based in differences in these non-Markovian properties.
