We show that, after a transformation, the dynamics of linear perturbations (spin waves) around a singular Bloch point soliton is formally equivalent to a quantum system of an electron in a magnetic monopole field. The analytical solution to…
Bloch oscillations refer to the periodic oscillation of a wavepacket in a lattice under a constant force. Typically, the oscillation has a fundamental period that corresponds to the wavepacket traversing the first Brillouin zone once. Here…
In previous work we studied the spin-boson model in the multiphoton regime, using a rotation that provides a separation between terms that contribute most of the level energies away from resonance, and terms responsible for the level…

We prove the multi-band Bloch oscillation and Stark ladder in the $nk$ and site representation from the Floquet theorem. The proof is also possible from the equivalence between the Floquet system, Bloch oscillation, and the rotator with…
A computer code is written that simulates the relaxation back to thermal equilibrium of an ensemble of particles after a pi/2 pulse. Beginning with Bloch's equations the exponential relaxation behavior is discussed and the transition into a…
In some linearly unstable flows, secondary instability is found to have a much larger wavelength than that of the primary unstable modes, so that it cannot be recovered with a classical Floquet analysis. In this work, we apply a new…

We discover a class of spacetime symmetries unique to time-periodic systems, which we term "mixing symmetry" due to its combination of space and time coordinates in the symmetry transformation. We systematically enumerate the symmetry…
