It introduces the fundamental concepts behind time crystals and explores the many different branches of this new research area. The book starts with the original idea of the time crystallization in quantum systems as introduced by Wilczek and follows the development of the field up to the present day. Both spontaneous formation of crystalline structures in time and concepts of the condensed matter physics in the time domain, ranging from Anderson localization in time to many-body systems with exotic interactions, are described. The prospect of creation of novel objects by means of time engineering is also presented. The book assumes knowledge of quantum mechanics to the graduate level. It serves as a valuable reference with pointers to future research directions for graduate students and senior scientists alike. 410 0$aSpringer series on atomic, optical, and plasma physics ; Volume 114. 606 $aCrystals 606 $aQuantum theory 615 0$aCrystals. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 676 $a548 700 $aSacha$b Krzysztof$0993674 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427684203321 996 $aTime crystals$92275316 997 $aUNINA
