Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

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 …

The advent of visible-infrared laser pulses carrying a substantial fraction of their energy in a
single field oscillation cycle has opened a new era in the experimental investigation of …

Metallic structures with nanogap features have proven highly effective as building blocks for
plasmonic systems, as they can provide a wide tuning range of operating frequencies and …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

During the 11 years since the first edition was published the field of quantum kinetics has
experienced a great expansion, and the methods described in the first edition are now …

In systems possessing spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, Brownian motion combined
with unbiased external input signals, deterministic and random alike, can assist directed …

We propose a general framework to solve tight binding models in D dimensional lattices
driven by ac electric fields. Our method is valid for arbitrary driving regimes and allows us to …

In the presence of a circularly polarized mid-infrared radiation graphene develops
dynamical band gaps in its quasienergy band structure and becomes a Floquet insulator …

We explore the prospects to control by use of time-dependent fields quantum transport
phenomena in nanoscale systems. In particular, we study for driven conductors the electron …
