Explore how periodic driving can induce exotic quantum phases and unconventional superconductivity in this 38-minute conference talk from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the theoretical framework of how time-periodic perturbations can stabilize novel quantum states of matter that don't exist in equilibrium systems. Learn about the mechanisms through which periodic driving can enhance or create superconducting phases with unconventional pairing symmetries and examine the role of Floquet engineering in manipulating electronic properties. Discover how these driven systems can exhibit emergent phenomena including modified band structures, engineered topological phases, and enhanced correlation effects that lead to exotic superconducting states. Understand the theoretical predictions and potential experimental realizations of these periodically-driven quantum many-body systems, with particular focus on how the interplay between driving frequency, amplitude, and material properties determines the resulting phase diagram. Gain insights into the broader implications of this research for quantum materials design and the development of new platforms for studying strongly correlated electron systems.
