Time periodic forcing in the form of coherent radiation is a standard tool for the coherent manipulation of small quantum systems like single atoms. In the last years, periodic driving has more and more also been considered as a means for…
Periodic driving can be used to coherently control the properties of a many-body state and to realize new phases which are not accessible in static systems. For example, exposing materials to intense laser pulses enables to provoke…
