Abstract: The time invariance of equilibrium states has been established in the C*-algebraic framework assuming an infinite-volume Heisenberg time evolution. This fundamental property of equilibrium states implies that spontaneous breakdown of time-translation symmetry is impossible in general quantum systems. In particular, any non-trivial order, such as periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic order cannot appear in the time direction of equilibrium states for general quantum models, meaning that genuine quantum time crystals are strictly forbidden. We compare our statement on the impossibility of quantum time crystals with the result by Watanabe-Oshikawa-Koma.
