Abstract Recent progress in nanophotonics and material science has inspired a strong interest optically-induced dynamics, opening new research directions the distinct fields of Floquet matter time metamaterials. phenomena are historically rooted condensed community, as they exploit periodic temporal drives to unveil novel phases matter, unavailable systems at equilibrium. In parallel, field met...

We introduce the concept of Floquet topologicalmagnons—amechanismbywhich a synthetic tunableDzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) can be generated in quantummagnets using circularly polarized electric (laser)field. The resulting effect is thatDiracmagnons and nodal-line magnons in two-dimensional and three-dimensional quantummagnets can be tuned tomagnon Chern insulators andWeylmagnons respec...

The application of spatially uniform light on conventional insulators can induce Floquet spectra with characteristics akin to those of topological insulators. We demonstrate that spatial modulation of light allows for remarkable control of the properties in these systems. We provide configurations to generate one-dimensional bulk modes, photoinduced currents, as well as fractionalized excitatio...

The Zeldovich hypothesis is revised and the meaning of quasi energy spectra is discussed. The observation of Floquet resonance for microobjects in quickly oscillating external fields might bring a new information about the time scale of hypothetical quantum jumps.

A methodology to calculate generalized coherent states for a periodically driven system is presented. We study wave packets constructed as a linear combination of suitable Floquet states of the three-dimensional Rydberg atom in a microwave field. The driven coherent states show classical space localization, spreading, and revivals and remain localized along the classical trajectory. The microwa...

Dynamical tunneling between symmetry-related stable modes is studied in the periodically driven pendulum. We present strong evidence that the tunneling process is governed by nonlinear resonances that manifest within the regular phase-space islands on which the stable modes are localized. By means of a quantitative numerical study of the corresponding Floquet problem, we identify the trace of s...

We propose a class of photonic Floquet topological insulators based on staggered helical lattices and an efficient numerical method for calculating their Floquet band structure. The lattices support anomalous Floquet topological insulator phases with vanishing Chern number and tunable topological transitions. At the critical point of the topological transition, the band structure hosts a single...
