Abstract

We argue that time crystal properties naturally arise from phase-space noncommutative quantum mechanics. In order to exemplify our point we consider the 2-dimensional noncommutative quantum harmonic oscillator and show that it exibihits periodic oscillations that can be identified as time crystals.
