New Topological Phases with Quasi-periodic Driving

Explore new topological phases in quasi-periodically driven systems in this 46-minute lecture by Philip Crowley from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fascinating world of periodically and quasi-periodically driven complex systems, covering topics such as terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices and cold atoms, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics. Gain insights into the interplay between closed quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Learn about the importance of quantum simulation experiments in understanding systems where brute force numerical calculations fail. This lecture is part of a program bringing together experts from various fields to foster valuable interactions and advance our understanding of driven complex systems.
