We develop the Floquet-Magnus expansion for a classical equation of motion under a periodic drive that is applicable to both isolated and open systems. For classical systems, known approaches based on the Floquet theorem fail due to the nonlinearity and the stochasticity of their equations of motion (EOMs) in contrast to quantum ones. Here, employing their master equation, we successfully extend the Floquet methodology to classical EOMs to obtain their Floquet-Magnus expansions, thereby overcoming this difficulty. Our method has a wide range of application from classical to quantum as long as they are described by differential equations including the Langevin equation, the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. By analytically evaluating the higher-order terms of the Floquet-Magnus expansion, we find that it is, at least asymptotically, convergent and well approximates the relaxation to their prethermal or non-equilibrium steady states. To support these analytical findings, we numerically analyze two examples: (i) the Kapitza pendulum with friction and (ii) laser-driven magnets described by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. In both cases, the effective EOMs obtained from their Floquet-Magnus expansions correctly reproduce their exact time evolution for a long time up to their non-equilibrium steady states. In the example of driven magnets, we demonstrate the controlled generations of a macroscopic magnetization and a spin chirality by laser and discuss possible applications to spintronics.

Light-matter coupling involving classical and quantum light offers a wide range of possibilities to tune the electronic properties of correlated quantum materials. Two paradigmatic results are the dynamical localization of electrons and the ultrafast control of spin dynamics, which have been discussed within classical Floquet engineering and in the deep quantum regime where vacuum fluctuations modify the properties of materials. Here we discuss how these two extreme limits are interpolated by a cavity which is driven to the excited states. In particular, this is achieved by formulating a Schrieffer-Wolff transformation for the cavity-coupled system, which is mathematically analogous to its Floquet counterpart. Some of the extraordinary results of Floquet-engineering, such as the sign reversal of the exchange interaction or electronic tunneling, which are not obtained by coupling to a dark cavity, can already be realized with a single-photon state (no coherent states are needed). The analytic results are verified and extended with numerical simulations on a two-site Hubbard model coupled to a driven cavity mode. Our results generalize the well-established Floquet-engineering of correlated electrons to the regime of quantum light. It opens up a new pathway of controlling properties of quantum materials with high tunability and low energy dissipation.
Periodic driving has emerged as a powerful experimental tool to engineer physical properties of isolated, synthetic quantum systems. However, due to the lack of energy conservation and heating effects, non-trivial (e.g., topological) many-body states in periodically driven (Floquet) systems are generally metastable. Therefore it is necessary to find strategies for preparing long-lived many-body states in Floquet systems. We develop a theoretical framework for describing the dynamical preparation of states in Floquet systems by a slow turn-on of the drive. We find that the dynamics of the system is well approximated by the initial state evolving under a slowly varying effective Hamiltonian $H_{rm eff}^{(s)}(t)$, provided the ramp speed $s gg t_*^{-1} sim e^{-{mathcal{C} frac{omega}{J}}}$, the inverse of the characteristic heating time-scale in the Floquet system. At such ramp speeds, the heating effects due to the drive are exponentially suppressed. We compute the slowly varying effective Hamiltonian $H_{rm eff}^{(s)}(t)$, and show that at the end of the ramp it is identical to the effective Hamiltonian of the unramped Floquet system, up to small corrections of the order $O(s)$. Therefore, the system effectively undergoes a slow quench from $H_0$ to $H_{rm eff}$. As an application, we consider the passage of the slow quench through a quantum critical point (QCP), and estimate the energy absorbed due to the non-adiabatic passage through the QCP via a Kibble-Zurek mechanism. By minimizing the energy absorbed due to both the drive and the ramp, we find an optimal ramp speed $s_* sim t_*^{-z/({d+2z})}$ for which both heating effects are exponentially suppressed. Our results bridge the gap between the numerous proposals to obtain interesting systems via Floquet engineering, and the actual preparation of such systems in their effective ground states.
Superfluidity in e-h bilayers in graphene and GaAs has been predicted many times but not observed. A key problem is how to treat the screening of the Coulomb interaction for pairing. Different mean-field theories give dramatically different conclusio ns, and we test them against diffusion Monte-Carlo calculations. We get excellent agreement with the mean-field theory that uses screening in the superfluid state, but large discrepancies with the others. The theory predicts no superfluidity in existing devices and gives pointers for new devices to generate superfluidity.
Three-particle complexes consisting of two holes in the completely filled zero electron Landau level and an excited electron in the unoccupied first Landau level are investigated in a quantum Hall insulator. The distinctive features of these three-pa rticle complexes are an electron-hole mass symmetry and the small energy gap of the quantum Hall insulator itself. Theoretical calculations of the trion energy spectrum in a quantizing magnetic field predict that, besides the ground state, trions feature a hierarchy of excited bound states. In agreement with the theoretical simulations, we observe new photoluminescence lines related to the excited trion states. A relatively small energy gap allows the binding of three-particle complexes with magnetoplasma oscillations and formation of plasmarons. The plasmaron properties are investigated experimentally.

We report a systematic study of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method on two different geometries: the sphere and the cylinder. We provide convergence benchmarks based on model Hamilton ians known to possess exact zero-energy ground states, as well as an analysis of the number of sweeps and basis elements that need to be kept in order to achieve the desired accuracy.The ground state energies of the Coulomb Hamiltonian at $ u=1/3$ and $ u=5/2$ filling are extracted and compared with the results obtained by previous DMRG implementations in the literature. A remarkably rapid convergence in the cylinder geometry is noted and suggests that this boundary condition is particularly suited for the application of the DMRG method to the FQHE.
