Colloquium: Atomic quantum gases in periodically driven optical lattices

A Eckardt - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
Time-periodic forcing in the form of coherent radiation is a standard tool for the coherent
manipulation of small quantum systems like single atoms. In the last years, periodic driving …

Tailoring quantum gases by Floquet engineering

C Weitenberg, J Simonet - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Floquet engineering is the concept of tailoring a system by a periodic drive, and it is
increasingly employed in many areas of physics. Ultracold atoms in optical lattices offer a …

Realization of density-dependent Peierls phases to engineer quantized gauge fields coupled to ultracold matter

F Görg, K Sandholzer, J Minguzzi, R Desbuquois… - Nature Physics, 2019 - nature.com
Gauge fields that appear in models of high-energy and condensed-matter physics are
dynamical quantum degrees of freedom due to their coupling to matter fields. Since the …

Quantum many-body scars in optical lattices

H Zhao, J Vovrosh, F Mintert, J Knolle - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a route to
describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis …

Floquet approach to ℤ2 lattice gauge theories with ultracold atoms in optical lattices

C Schweizer, F Grusdt, M Berngruber, L Barbiero… - Nature Physics, 2019 - nature.com

Interaction-induced non-Hermitian topological phases from a dynamical gauge field

WN Faugno, T Ozawa - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
We present a minimal non-Hermitian model where a topologically nontrivial complex energy
spectrum is induced by interparticle interactions. Our model consists of a one-dimensional …

Long-lived interacting phases of matter protected by multiple time-translation symmetries in quasiperiodically driven systems

DV Else, WW Ho, PT Dumitrescu - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We show how a large family of interacting nonequilibrium phases of matter can arise from
the presence of multiple time-translation symmetries, which occur by quasiperiodically …
