Towards a Floquet-Network Theory of Non-Reciprocal Transport

arXiv:1710.05399 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.9.044031

Abstract

We develop a theoretical framework that lays out the fundamental rules under which a periodic (Floquet) driving scheme can induce non-reciprocal transport. Our approach utilizes an extended Hilbert space where a Floquet network with an extra (frequency) dimension naturally arises. The properties of this network (its on-site potential and the intersite couplings) are in one-to-one correspondence with the initial driving scheme. Its proper design allows for a control of the multipath scattering processes and the associated interferences. We harness this degree of freedom to realize driving schemes with narrow or broad-band non-reciprocal transport.
