Using two-frequency driving in two dimensions opens up new possibilites for Floquet engineering, which range from controlling specific symmetries to tuning the properties of resonant gaps. In this work, we study two-band lattice models…
We investigate stochastic resetting in coupled systems involving two degrees of freedom, where only one variable is reset. The resetting variable, which we think of as hidden, indirectly affects the remaining observable variable through…

Space-time (ST) wave packets are coherent pulsed beams that propagate diffraction-free and dispersion-free by virtue of tight correlations introduced between their spatial and temporal spectral degrees of freedom. Less is known of the…

Recent experiments [Phys. Rev. B 109, 245123 (2024)] revealed striking inverse-current (1/I) quantum oscillations in quasi-one-dimensional charge-density-wave (CDW) insulators and proposed an intrinsic Floquet sideband mechanism arising…

Propagation-invariant or non-diffracting optical beams have received considerable attention during the last two decades. However, the pulsed nature of light waves and the structured property of optical media like waveguides are often…
Non-Abelian topological insulators are characterized by matrix-valued, non-commuting topological charges with regard to more than one energy gap. Their descriptions go beyond the conventional topological band theory, in which an additive…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method to prepare a nonspreading atomic wave packet. Our technique relies on a spatially modulated absorption constantly chiseling away from an initially broad de Broglie wave. The resulting…
Coherent electron displacement is a conventional strategy for processing quantum information, as it enables to interconnect distinct sites in a network of atoms. The efficiency of the processing relies on the precise control of the…
In (1+1)-dimensional quantum field theory, integrability is typically defined as the existence of an infinite number of local charges of different Lorentz spin, which commute with the Hamiltonian. A well known consequence of integrability…
We discuss the propagation dynamics of nonspreading wave packets. We decompose the Hamiltonian into two parts. The first part is such that wave packets is its instantaneous eigenstate and is therefore irrelevant to the propagation of the…
