Space- and time-crystallization effects in multicomponent superfluids

We observe that space- and time-crystallization effects in multicomponent superfluids—while having the same physical origin and mathematical description as in the single-component case—are conceptually much more straightforward. Specifically, the values of the temporal and spatial periods are absolute rather than relative, and the broken translation symmetry in space and/or time can be revealed with experiments involving only one equilibrium sample. We discuss two realistic setups—one with cold atoms and another one with bilayer superconductors—or observation of space and time crystallization in two-component counterflow
