The Floquet Engineer's Handbook
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.
