Floquet Engineering and Topological Nonlinear Optics by Takashi Oka

Explore the fascinating intersection of Floquet engineering and topological nonlinear optics in this 46-minute lecture by Takashi Oka from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into cutting-edge research on periodically and quasi-periodically driven complex systems, covering topics such as terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics. Gain insights into the dynamics of gauge theories and the interplay between theory and experiment in quantum systems. Learn how this field bridges closed quantum systems, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation, offering valuable cross-disciplinary perspectives for researchers and students alike.
