In this context, we predict the existence of a disorder-free, prethermal discrete time crystal in one dimension -- a phase strictly forbidden in the absence of long-range interactions. Finally, using a combination of analytic and numerical methods, we highlight key experimentally observable differences between such a prethermal time crystal and its many-body localized counterpart.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/prethermal-phases-of-non-equilibrium-matter-in-long-range-interacting-systems/}, }
