We establish a scattering-state theory for open one-dimensional Floquet lattices based on a frequency-domain transfer-matrix formulation. For real quasienergy, the conjugate-symplectic structure of the transfer matrix separates bulk…

We explore thermalization and quantum dynamics in a one-dimensional disordered SU(2)-symmetric Floquet model, where a many-body localized phase is prohibited by the non-abelian symmetry. Despite the absence of localization, we find an…

A two-dimensional periodically driven (Floquet) system with zero winding number in the absence of time-reversal symmetry is usually considered topologically trivial. Here, we study the dynamics of a Gaussian wave packet placed at the…

We investigate the effect of a periodic electric field drive on the generalized Aubry-Andr\'e model, also known as the Ganeshan-Pixley-Das Sarma (GPD) model, which is well known as a host of mobility edges. Our study of the Floquet spectrum…

The standard understanding of topological protection from band theory is that a system's topology cannot change without first closing the bulk band gap. However, in Floquet systems, this typical definition of topological protection is one…

Floquet topological insulators are noninteracting quantum systems that, when driven by a time-periodic field, are described by effective Hamiltonians whose bands carry nontrivial topological invariants. A longstanding question concerns the…

A Floquet systems is a periodically driven quantum system. It can be described by a Floquet operator. If this unitary operator has a gap in the spectrum, then one can define associated topological bulk invariants which can either only…

The bulk-edge correspondence guarantees that the interface between two topologically distinct insulators supports at least one topological edge state that is robust against static perturbations. Here, we address the question of how dynamic…

Driven Floquet systems can realize topological phases with no static counterparts. These so-called anomalous Floquet topology breaks the bulk-boundary correspondence based on the Chern number. The number of edge modes in each band gap is…
