Floquet topological phases emerge when systems are periodically driven out-of-equilibrium. They gained attention due to their external control, which allows to simulate a wide variety of static systems by just tuning the external field in…
Our aim in this paper is twofold. Firstly, we develop a new asymptotic theory for Floquet exponents. We consider a linear system of differential equations with a time-periodic coefficient matrix. Assuming that the coefficient matrix depends…

We show that periodically time-modulating the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in a two-dimensional magnon insulator may induce a topological phase transition that results in the presence of robust edge modes. To this end, we study a…
The topological characterization of nonequilibrium topological matter is highly nontrivial because familiar approaches designed for equilibrium topological phases may not apply. In the presence of crystal symmetry, Floquet topological…
The emergence of states with long-range correlations in a disordered landscape is rare, as disorder typically suppresses the particle mobility required for long-range coherence. But when more than two energy levels are available per site,…
Dynamical phases with novel topological properties are known to arise in driven systems of free fermions. In this paper, we obtain a `periodic table' to describe the phases of such time-dependent systems, generalizing the periodic table for…
We consider periodically driven Anderson insulators. The short time behavior for weak, monochromatic, uniform electric fields is given by linear response theory and was famously derived by Mott. We go beyond this to consider both long…

Using exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo calculations we investigate the effects of disorder on the phase diagram of both non-interacting and interacting models of two-dimensional topological insulators. In the fermion sign…
Floquet modulations often yield effective Hamiltonians not easily accessible in traditional time-dependent systems, which brings opportunities for exploring novel physics of quantum dynamics. We investigate a Floquet system exhibiting…
