I present arguments indicating the impossibility of spontaneously rotating quantum timecrystals, as recently proposed by Frank Wilczek [arXiv:1202.2539]. In particular, I prove a No-Go Theorem, rigorously ruling out the possibility of spontaneous ground-state (or thermal equilibrium) rotation for a broad class of systems.

  1. Spin-Induced Fractal Time-Crystal-Like Dynamics and Non-Markovian Memory in the Bateman Dual Oscillator

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Spin-induced noncommutativity in the Bateman oscillator yields discrete scaling covariance in amplified and damped modes, producing self-similar evolution and history-dependent non-Markovian reduced dynamics.

  2. Spin-Induced Non-Markovian Time-Crystal-Like Dynamics and Fractal Scaling in the Bateman Dual Oscillator

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Spin-induced deformation in the Bateman dual oscillator framework yields non-Markovian reduced dynamics with persistent oscillations and fractal scaling that mimic time crystals in a globally unitary quantum system.

  3. Spin-Induced Non-Markovian Time-Crystal-Like Dynamics and Fractal Scaling in the Bateman Dual Oscillator

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Spin-induced deformation creates a Bateman dual oscillator whose reduced non-Markovian dynamics produces time-crystal-like ordering and fractal scaling in a closed quantum system.
