Collective Dissipative Dynamics of Oscillators by Prasanna Venkatesh

Explore the collective dissipative dynamics of oscillators in this comprehensive lecture by Prasanna Venkatesh. Delve into the intricacies of periodically and quasi-periodically driven complex systems as part of a program organized by Jonathan Keeling, Manas Kulkarni, and Aditi Mitra. 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. Discover how these fields benefit from interactions with each other and their valuable connection to experimental work. Examine topics such as terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices and cold atoms, Floquet time crystals, localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems, and dynamics of gauge theories. Enhance your understanding of quantum simulation experiments and their interpretation in scenarios where brute force numerical calculations fail.
