Non-equilibrium topological phenomena can be induced in quantum many-body systems
using time-periodic fields (for example, by laser or microwave illumination). This Review …

This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body
phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases. It focuses on effects beyond standard weak-coupling …

Ultracold quantum gases offer a unique setting for quantum simulation of interacting many-
body systems. The high degree of controllability, the novel detection possibilities and the …

Topological quantum computation has emerged as one of the most exciting approaches to
constructing a fault-tolerant quantum computer. The proposal relies on the existence of …

We demonstrate the experimental implementation of an optical lattice that allows for the
generation of large homogeneous and tunable artificial magnetic fields with ultracold atoms …

We give a general overview of the high-frequency regime in periodically driven systems and
identify three distinct classes of driving protocols in which the infinite-frequency Floquet …

The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

When a neutral atom moves in a properly designed laser field, its center-of-mass motion
may mimic the dynamics of a charged particle in a magnetic field, with the emergence of a …

Sixty years ago, Karplus and Luttinger pointed out that quantum particles moving on a lattice
could acquire an anomalous transverse velocity in response to a force, providing an …

We experimentally implement the Harper Hamiltonian for neutral particles in optical lattices
using laser-assisted tunneling and a potential energy gradient provided by gravity or …
