Floquet engineering is a powerful tool that drives materials with periodic light. Traditionally, the light is monochromatic, with amplitude, frequency, and polarization varied. We introduce Floquet engineering via unpolarized light built…
We discuss Floquet engineering of dissipative molecular systems through periodic driving of an infrared-active vibrational transition, either directly or via a cavity mode. Following a polaron quantum Langevin equations approach, we derive…
Both classical and quantum waves can form vortices: with helical phase fronts and azimuthal current densities. These features determine the intrinsic orbital angular momentum carried by localized vortex states. In the past 25 years, optical…

Bloch oscillations are a phenomenon well known from quantum mechanics where electrons in a lattice experience an oscillatory motion in the presence of an electric field gradient. Here, we report on Bloch oscillations of hybrid light-matter…
Dark states are excited quantum states that decouple from their environment in such a way that they do not emit or absorb external photons. These states are found in a variety of different open quantum systems and can be derived from the…
We investigate the asymptotic state of a periodically driven many-body quantum system which is weakly coupled to an environment. The combined action of the modulations and the environment steers the system towards a state being…
