Floquet topological phases with large winding number
arXiv:2401.01250 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.109.013324
Abstract
Recently, anomalous Floquet topological phases without static counterparts have been observed in different systems, where periodically driven models are realized to support a winding number of 1 and a pair of edge modes in each quasienergy gap. Here, we focus on cold atomic gases in optical lattices and propose a novel driving scheme that breaks rotation symmetry but maintains inversion symmetry of the instantaneous Hamiltonian, and discover a novel type of anomalous Floquet topological phase with winding number larger than 1. By analyzing the condition of band touching under symmetry constraint, we map out the phase diagram exactly by varying the driving parameters and discuss the quasienergy spectra of typical topological phases, which can present multiple pairs of edge modes within a single gap. Finally, we suggest to characterize the topology of such phases by detecting the band inversion surfaces via quench dynamics.
