Self-organized Floquet band geometry in cavity-driven quantum materials

Christopher Yang, Gil Refael, Mark S. Rudner +1

Floquet engineering has emerged as a powerful route to dynamically control band structure and topology in quantum materials, but most implementations rely on externally imposed las…

Asymptotic freedom, lost: Complex conformal field theory in the two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model and its realization in Heisenberg spin chains

Christopher Yang, Thomas Scaffidi

The two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) is asymptotically free for : it exhibits neither a nontrivial fixed point nor spontaneous symmetry-breaking. Here we sh…

Evidence of Floquet electronic steady states in graphene under continuous-wave mid-infrared irradiation

Yijing Liu, Christopher Yang, Gabriel Gaertner +9

Light-induced phenomena in materials can exhibit exotic behavior that extends beyond equilibrium properties, offering new avenues for understanding and controlling electronic phase…

Quantized Acoustoelectric Floquet Effect in Quantum Nanowires

Christopher Yang, Will Hunt, Gil Refael +1

External coherent fields can drive quantum materials into non-equilibrium states, revealing exotic properties that are unattainable under equilibrium conditions -- an approach know…

Optical Control of Slow Topological Electrons in Moiré Systems

Christopher Yang, Iliya Esin, Cyprian Lewandowski +1

Floquet moiré materials possess optically-induced flat-electron bands with steady-states sensitive to drive parameters. Within this regime, we show that strong interaction screenin…
