The periodic driving of a quantum system can enable new topological phases without analogs in static systems. This provides a route towards preparing non-equilibrium quantum phases rooted into the non-equilibrium nature by periodic driving engineering. Motivated by the ongoing considerable interest in topological semimetals, we are interested in the novel topological phases in the periodically driven topological semimetals without a static counterpart. We propose to design non-equilibrium topological semimetals in the regime of weakly driving field where the spectrum width of shares the same magnitude with the driving frequency. We identify two novel types of non-equilibrium Weyl semimetals (i.e., Floquet and anomalous Floquet Weyl semimetals) that do not exhibit analogues in equilibrium. The proposed setup is shown to be experimentally feasible using the state-of-the-art techniques used to control ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

This work reports the general design and characterization of two exotic, anomalous nonequilibrium topological phases. In equilibrium systems, the Weyl nodes or the crossing points of nodal lines may become the transition points between higher-order a
nd first-order topological phases defined on two-dimensional slices, thus featuring both hinge Fermi arc and surface Fermi arc. We advance this concept by presenting a strategy to obtain, using time-sequenced normal insulator phases only, Floquet higher-order Weyl semimetals and Floquet higher-order nexus semimetals, where the concerned topological singularities in the three-dimensional Brillouin zone border anomalous two-dimensional higher-order Floquet phases. The fascinating topological phases we obtain are previously unknown and can be experimentally studied using, for example, a three-dimensional lattice of coupled ring resonators.
We study periodically driven insulating noncollinear stacked kagome antiferromagnets with a conventional symmetry-protected three-dimensional (3D) in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure, with either positive or negative vector chirality. We show that the
symmetry protection of the in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure can be broken in the presence of an off-resonant circularly or linearly polarized electric field propagating parallel to the in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure (say along the $x$ direction). Consequently, topological Floquet Weyl magnon nodes with opposite chirality are photoinduced along the $k_x$ momentum direction. They manifest as the monopoles of the photoinduced Berry curvature. We also show that the system exhibits a photoinduced magnon thermal Hall effect for circularly polarized electric field. Furthermore, we show that the photoinduced chiral spin structure is a canted 3D in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure, which was recently observed in the equilibrium noncollinear antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetals Mn$_3$Snslash Ge. Our result not only paves the way towards the experimental realization of Weyl magnons and photoinduced thermal Hall effects, but also provides a powerful mechanism for manipulating the intrinsic properties of 3D topological antiferromagnets.
Higher order topological insulators (HOTI) have emerged as a new class of phases, whose robust in-gap corner modes arise from the bulk higher-order multipoles beyond the dipoles in conventional topological insulators. Here, we incorporate Floquet dri
ving into HOTIs, and report for the first time a dynamical polarization theory with anomalous non-equilibrium multipoles. Further, a proposal to detect not only corner states but also their dynamical origin in cold atoms is demonstrated, with the latter one never achieved before. Experimental determination of anomalous Floquet corner modes are also proposed.
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.
Periodically driven systems can host so called anomalous topological phases, in which protected boundary states coexist with topologically trivial Floquet bulk bands. We introduce an anomalous version of reflection symmetry protected topological crys
talline insulators, obtained as a stack of weakly-coupled two-dimensional layers. The system has tunable and robust surface Dirac cones even though the mirror Chern numbers of the Floquet bulk bands vanish. The number of surface Dirac cones is given by a new topological invariant determined from the scattering matrix of the system. Further, we find that due to particle-hole symmetry, the positions of Dirac cones in the surface Brillouin zone are controlled by an additional invariant, counting the parity of modes present at high symmetry points.
