Band structure engineering and non-equilibrium dynamics in Floquet topological insulators

MS Rudner, NH Lindner - Nature reviews physics, 2020 - nature.com
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 …

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 …

Avalanches and many-body resonances in many-body localized systems

A Morningstar, L Colmenarez, V Khemani, DJ Luitz… - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We numerically study both the avalanche instability and many-body resonances in strongly

Equilibration and order in quantum Floquet matter

R Moessner, SL Sondhi - Nature Physics, 2017 - nature.com
Equilibrium thermodynamics is characterized by two fundamental ideas: thermalization—
that systems approach a late time thermal state; and phase structure—that thermal states …

Prethermal phases of matter protected by time-translation symmetry

DV Else, B Bauer, C Nayak - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
In a periodically driven (Floquet) system, there is the possibility for new phases of matter, not
present in stationary systems, protected by discrete time-translation symmetry. This includes …

Onset of many-body quantum chaos due to breaking integrability

VB Bulchandani, DA Huse, S Gopalakrishnan - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Integrable quantum systems of finite size are generically robust against weak enough
integrability-breaking perturbations, but become quantum chaotic and thermalizing if the …
