New Frontiers in Topology: Multilevel Systems and Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics - Lecture 2

Explore advanced concepts in topology through this lecture on "New Frontiers in Topology: Multilevel Systems and Out-of-Equilibrium" (Lecture 2) delivered by F Nur Ünal at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complexities of periodically and quasi-periodically driven complex systems as part of a comprehensive program on the subject. Gain insights into cutting-edge topics such as closed quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Discover the interplay between theory and experiment in fields like terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices and cold atoms, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems. Enhance your understanding of the dynamics of gauge theories and the potential for quantum simulation experiments in this hour-long lecture, which is part of a broader two-week program bringing together experts from diverse scientific communities.
