The Floquet Engineer's Handbook

Mark Spencer Rudner, Netanel H. Lindner

Published Mar 18, 2020• 20 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

We provide a pedagogical technical guide to many of the key theoretical tools and ideas that underlie work in the field of Floquet engineering. We hope that this document will serve as a useful resource for new researchers aiming to enter the field, as well as experienced researchers who wish to gain new insight into familiar or possibly unfamiliar methods. This guide was developed out of supplementary material as a companion to our recent review, "Band structure engineering and non-equilibrium dynamics in Floquet topological insulators," Nature Reviews Physics 2, 229 (2020). The primary focus is on analytical techniques relevant for Floquet-Bloch band engineering and related many-body dynamics. We will continue to update this document over time to include additional content, and welcome suggestions for further topics to consider.

Lecture Notes on Quantum Many-Body Theory: A Pedagogical Introduction

Tafuri, Fabrizio, C. A. Perroni, G. De Filippis

In these notes, we present a rigorous and self-contained introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods of quantum many-body theory. The text is designed to provide a solid theoretical foundation for the study of interacting quantum systems, combining clarity with mathematical precision. Core topics are developed systematically, with detailed derivations and comprehensive proofs that aim to make the material accessible to graduate students and beginning PhD students. Special attention is given to formal consistency and pedagogical structure, so as to guide the reader through both the conceptual and technical aspects of the subject. This work is intended as a reliable starting point for further exploration and research in modern quantum many-body physics.

Field Theory of Non-Equilibrium Systems

Alex Kamenev

The physics of non-equilibrium many-body systems is a rapidly expanding area of theoretical physics. Traditionally employed in laser physics and superconducting kinetics, these techniques have more recently found applications in the dynamics of cold atomic gases, mesoscopic and nano-mechanical systems, and quantum computation. This book provides a detailed presentation of modern non-equilibrium field-theoretical methods, applied to examples ranging from biophysics to the kinetics of superfluids and superconductors. A highly pedagogical and self-contained approach is adopted within the text, making it ideal as a reference for graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics. In this Second Edition, the text has been substantially updated to include recent developments in the field such as driven-dissipative quantum systems, kinetics of fermions with Berry curvature, and Floquet kinetics of periodically driven systems, among many other important new topics. Problems have been added throughout, structured as compact guided research projects that encourage independent exploration.

A Living Review of Quantum Computing for Plasma Physics

Óscar Amaro, Diogo Cruz

Quantum Computing promises accelerated simulation of certain classes of problems, in particular in plasma physics. Given the nascent interest in applying quantum computing techniques to study plasma systems, a compendium of the relevant literature would be most useful. As a novel field, new results are common, and it is important for researchers to stay up-to-date on the latest developments. With this in mind, the goal of this document is to provide a regularly up-to-date and thorough list of citations for those developing and applying these quantum computing approaches to experimental or theoretical work in plasma physics. As a living document, it will be updated as often as possible to incorporate the latest developments. References are grouped by topic, both in itemized format and through the use of tags. We provide instructions on how to participate, and suggestions are welcome.

Floquet topological insulators: from band structure engineering to novel non-equilibrium quantum phenomena

Mark Spencer Rudner, Netanel H. Lindner

We review methods for using time-periodic fields (e.g., laser or microwave fields) to induce non-equilibrium topological phenomena in quantum many-body systems. We discuss how such fields can be used to change the topological properties of the single particle spectrum, and key experimental demonstrations in solid state, cold atomic, and photonic systems. The single particle Floquet band structure provides a stage on which the system's dynamics play out; the crucial question is then how to obtain robust topological behaviour in the many-particle setting. In the regime of mesoscopic transport, we discuss manifestations of topological edge states induced in the Floquet spectrum. Outside the context of mesoscopic transport, the main challenge of inducing stable topological phases in many-body Floquet systems is their tendency to absorb energy from the drive and thereby to heat up. We discuss three routes to overcoming this challenge: long-lived transient dynamics and prethermalization, disorder-induced many-body localization, and engineered couplings to external baths. We discuss the types of phenomena that can be explored in each of these regimes, and their experimental realizations.
