Abstract

We derive a topological classification of the steady states of -dimensional lattice models driven by incommensurate tones. Mapping to a unifying -dimensional localized model in frequency space reveals anomalous localized topological phases (ALTPs) with no static analog. While the formal classification is determined by , the observable signatures of each ALTP depend on the spatial dimension . For each , with , we identify a quantized circulating current, and corresponding topological edge states. The edge states for a driven wire () function as a quantized, nonadiabatic energy pump between the drives. We design concrete models of quasiperiodically driven qubits and wires that achieve ALTPs of several topological classes. Our results provide a route to experimentally access higher dimensional ALTPs in driven low-dimensional systems.
