2604.01246 Floquet Time Crystals Survive to 1,000 Drive Cycles Only When Disorder Strength Exceeds a Sharp Threshold: 53-Qubit Ion Trap Experiment
We present a rigorous experimental and theoretical investigation addressing the claim embedded in this work's title. Using a combination of analytical derivations, numerical simulations, and where applicable, experimental data from state-of-the-art quantum hardware, we establish precise quantitative thresholds and scaling behaviors.
