Thouless pumping provides one of the simplest manifestations of topology in quantum
systems and has attracted a lot of recent interest, both theoretically and experimentally …

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 …

This Colloquium gives an overview of recent theoretical and experimental progress in the
area of nonequilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum systems. There is particularly a focus …

In these lecture notes, partly based on a course taught at the Karpacz Winter School in
March 2014, we explore the close connections between non-adiabatic response of a system …

We develop from first principles Markovian master equations suited for studying the time
evolution of a system evolving adiabatically while coupled weakly to a thermal bath. We …

The past few years have witnessed a surge of interest in non-Hermitian Floquet topological
matter due to its exotic properties resulting from the interplay between driving fields and non …

We study the dynamical response of a system to a sudden change of the tuning parameter λ
starting (or ending) at the quantum critical point. In particular, we analyze the scaling of the …

We review recent work on low-frequency Floquet engineering and its application to quantum
materials driven by light, focusing on van der Waals systems hosting Moiré superlattices …

We give a systematic review of the adiabatic theorem and the leading non-adiabatic
corrections in periodically-driven (Floquet) systems. These corrections have a two-fold …

The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a near-term hybrid algorithm
intended to solve combinatorial optimization problems, such as MaxCut. QAOA can be made …
