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 …

Topological bands for ultracold atoms

NR Cooper, J Dalibard, IB Spielman - Reviews of modern physics, 2019 - APS
There have been significant recent advances in realizing band structures with geometrical
and topological features in experiments on cold atomic gases. This review summarizes …

Time crystals: a review

K Sacha, J Zakrzewski - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Time crystals are time-periodic self-organized structures postulated by Frank Wilczek in
2012. While the original concept was strongly criticized, it stimulated at the same time an …

Discrete time crystals: Rigidity, criticality, and realizations

NY Yao, AC Potter, ID Potirniche, A Vishwanath - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Despite being forbidden in equilibrium, spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry
can occur in periodically driven, Floquet systems with discrete time-translation symmetry …

Phase structure of driven quantum systems

V Khemani, A Lazarides, R Moessner, SL Sondhi - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Clean and interacting periodically driven systems are believed to exhibit a single, trivial
“infinite-temperature” Floquet-ergodic phase. In contrast, here we show that their disordered …

Discrete time crystals

DV Else, C Monroe, C Nayak… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Experimental advances have allowed for the exploration of nearly isolated quantum many-
body systems whose coupling to an external bath is very weak. A particularly interesting …

[HTML][HTML] Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems with long-range interactions

N Defenu, A Lerose, S Pappalardi - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
Experimental progress in atomic, molecular, and optical platforms in the last decade has
stimulated strong and broad interest in the quantum coherent dynamics of many long-range …

Topology and broken symmetry in Floquet systems

F Harper, R Roy, MS Rudner… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Floquet systems are governed by periodic, time-dependent Hamiltonians. Prima facie they
should absorb energy from the external drives involved in modulating their couplings and …

Floquet time crystals

DV Else, B Bauer, C Nayak - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We define what it means for time translation symmetry to be spontaneously broken in a
quantum system and show with analytical arguments and numerical simulations that this …

Absolute stability and spatiotemporal long-range order in Floquet systems

CW von Keyserlingk, V Khemani, SL Sondhi - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Recent work has shown that a variety of novel phases of matter arise in periodically driven
Floquet systems. Among these are many-body localized phases which spontaneously break …
