Floquet Insulators and Lattice Fermions

Explore the fascinating world of Floquet insulators and lattice fermions in this 44-minute lecture by Thomas Iadecola from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex realm of periodically and quasi-periodically driven systems as part of a comprehensive program covering topics such as terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics. Gain insights into the interplay between closed quantum systems, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Discover how this interdisciplinary approach bridges theory and experiment, particularly in scenarios where traditional numerical calculations fall short, emphasizing the importance of quantum simulation experiments and their interpretation.
