We study the stroboscopic and non-stroboscopic dynamics in the Floquet realization of the Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian. We show that the former produces the evolution expected in the high-frequency limit only for observables which commute…

In NMR-based quantum computing, it is known that the controlled-NOT gate can be implemented by applying a low-power, monochromatic radio-frequency field to one peak of a doublet in a weakly-coupled two-spin system. This is known in NMR…

We introduce and experimentally demonstrate an approach for selective mode excitation in non-Hermitian resonant systems using incoherent light. This method eliminates the need for precise phase control that is often required in coherent…

Unitary matrices arise in many ways in physics, in particular as a time evolution operator. For a periodically driven system one frequently wishes to compute a Floquet Hamilonian that should be a Hermitian operator $H$ such that…

We demonstrate that the prethermal regime of periodically driven (Floquet), classical many-body systems can host nonequilibrium phases of matter. In particular, we show that there exists an effective Hamiltonian that captures the dynamics…

Recently, we presented a two-dimensional (2D) model of a weak topological insulator formed by stacking an $N$ number of Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains \cite{Agrawal_2022-02}. We now study the influence of periodic driving on the…
