Intense time-periodic laser fields can transform the electronic structure of a solid into strongly modified Floquet-Bloch bands. While this suggests multiple pathways to induce electronic orders such as superconductivity or charge density…
We propose a time-dependent approach to investigate the motion of electrons in quantum pump device configurations. The occupied one-particle states are propagated in real time and used to calculate the local electron density and current. An…
We propose optical longitudinal conductivity as a realistic observable to detect light-induced Floquet band gaps in graphene. These gaps manifest as resonant features in the conductivity, when resolved with respect to the probing frequency…
In this work, we study the real-time evolution of periodically driven (Floquet) systems on a quantum computer using IBM quantum devices. We consider a driven Landau-Zener model and compute the transition probability between the Floquet…
How fast can correlations spread in a quantum many-body system? Based on the seminal work by Lieb and Robinson, it has recently been shown that several interacting many-body systems exhibit an effective light cone that bounds the…
Floquet engineering provides an emerging pathway for tailoring the electronic states of quantum materials through time-periodic drive. A critical step along this direction is achieving light-induced modifications of the dynamical electronic…
In this thesis, we have investigated the spreading of quantum correlations in isolated lattice models with short- or long-range interactions driven far from equilibrium via sudden global quenches. A general theoretical approach relying on a…
We describe, within the framework of quantum electrodynamics, an interaction between a non-resonant hard x-ray pulse and an electronic system in the presence of a temporally periodic laser field driving electron dynamics in this system. We…
We investigate the dynamical spreading of correlations in many-body quantum systems with competing short- and global-range couplings. We monitor the non-equilibrium dynamics of the correlations following a quench, showing that for strong…
The light propagating in a waveguide array or photonic lattice has become an ideal platform to control light and to mimic quantum behaviors in a classical system. We here investigate the propagation of light in a coupled waveguide array…
While intense laser irradiation and moir\'e engineering have independently proven powerful for tuning material properties on demand in condensed matter physics, their combination remains unexplored. Here we exploit tilted laser illumination…
The control of physical properties of solids with short laser pulses is an intriguing prospect of ultrafast materials science. Continuous-wave high-frequency laser driving with circular polarization was predicted to induce a light-matter…
The concept of Floquet engineering is to subject a quantum system to time-periodic driving in such a way that it acquires interesting novel properties. It has been employed, for instance, for the realization of artificial magnetic fluxes in…
Combining experiments and computer simulations, we use a spatially periodic and flashing light-field to direct the motion of phototactic active colloids. Here, the colloids self-organize into a density spike pattern, which resembles a shock…
We show that in a one-dimensional translationally invariant tight binding chain, non-dispersing wave packets can in general be realized as Floquet eigenstates -- or linear combinations thereof -- using a spatially inhomogeneous drive, which…
Operator spreading, often characterized by out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), is one of the central concepts in quantum many-body physics. However, measuring OTOCs is experimentally challenging due to the requirement of reversing the…
Floquet engineering provides an optical means to manipulate electronic bandstructures, however, carriers excited by the pump field can lead to an effective heating, and can obscure measurement of the band changes. A recent demonstration of…
Periodic driving of optical lattices has enabled the creation of novel bandstructures not realizable in static lattice systems, such as topological bands for neutral particles. However, especially driven systems of interacting bosonic…
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…
Periodic driving of quantum dots is analyzed as a basis for developing dynamic switching devices. We study transport through periodically modulated energy levels which are coupled to leads via tunneling coefficients. Utilizing Floquet…
