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 …

Periodically driven quantum systems: effective Hamiltonians and engineered gauge fields

N Goldman, J Dalibard - Physical review X, 2014 - APS
Driving a quantum system periodically in time can profoundly alter its long-time dynamics
and trigger topological order. Such schemes are particularly promising for generating …
