We study the effects of a periodically driven electric field applied to a variety of tight-binding models in one dimension. We first consider a non-interacting system with or without a staggered on-site potential, and we find that that periodic driving can generate states localized completely or partially near the ends of a finite-sized system. Depending on the system parameters, such states have Floquet eigenvalues lying either outside or inside the continuum of eigenvalues of the bulk states; only in the former case we find that these states are completely localized at the ends and are true edge states. We then consider a system of two bosonic particles which have an on-site Hubbard interaction and show that a periodically driven electric field can generate two-particle states which are localized at the ends of the system. We show that many of these effects can be understood using a Floquet perturbation theory which is valid in the limit of large staggered potential or large interaction strength. Some of these effects can also be understood qualitatively by considering time-independent Hamiltonians which have a potential at the sites at the edges; Hamiltonians of these kind effectively appear in a Floquet-Magnus analysis of the driven problem. Finally, we discuss how the edge states produced by periodic driving of a non-interacting system of fermions can be detected by measuring the differential conductance of the system.

We discuss quantum Hall effect in the presence of arbitrary pair interactions between electrons. It is shown that irrespective of the interaction strength the Hall conductivity is given by the filling fraction of Landau levels averaged over the groun d state of the system. This conclusion remains valid for both integer and fractional quantum Hall effect.
We present a non-Hermitian Floquet model with topological edge states in real and imaginary band gaps. The model utilizes two stacked honeycomb lattices which can be related via four different types of non-Hermitian time-reversal symmetry. Implementi ng the correct time-reversal symmetry provides us with either two counterpropagating edge states in a real gap, or a single edge state in an imaginary gap. The counterpropagating edge states allow for either helical or chiral transport along the lattice perimeter. In stark contrast, we find that the edge state in the imaginary gap does not propagate. Instead, it remains spatially localized while its amplitude continuously increases. Our model is well-suited for realizing these edge states in photonic waveguide lattices.
Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, we developed the theory of light-induced modification of electronic states in semiconductor materials described by the Luttinger Hamiltonian (the electronic term $Gamma_8$). Particular ly, exact solutions of the Floquet problem are found for the band edge in the cases of linearly and circularly polarized irradiation. It is shown that the irradiation changes electron effective masses near the band edge, induces anisotropy of the electron dispersion and splits the bands. It is demonstrated that the light-induced band splitting strongly depends on the light polarization. Namely, the circularly polarized light acts similarly to a stationary magnetic field and lifts the spin degeneracy of electron branches, whereas a linearly polarized light does not affect the spin degeneracy and only splits the bands in the center of the Brillouin zone. The present theory can be applied to describe electronic properties of various semiconductor structures irradiated by an electromagnetic field in the broad frequency range.
Using a van der Waals vertical heterostructure consisting of monolayer graphene, monolayer hBN and NbSe$_2$, we have performed local characterization of induced correlated states in different configurations. At a temperature of 4.6 K, we have shown t hat both superconductivity and charge density waves can be induced in graphene from NbSe2 by proximity effects. By applying a vertical magnetic field, we imaged the Abrikosov vortex lattice and extracted the coherence length for the proximitized superconducting graphene. We further show that the induced correlated states can be completely blocked by adding a monolayer hBN between the graphene and the NbSe$_2$, which demonstrates the importance of the tunnel barrier and surface conditions between the normal metal and superconductor for the proximity effect.

Employing the Bloch eigenmode matching approach, we numerically study the evolution of individual quantum Hall edge states with respect to disorder. As shown by the two-parameter renormalization group flow of the Hall and Thouless conductances, quant um Hall edge states with high Chern number n are completely different from that of n=1 case. Two categories of individual edge modes are evaluated in a quantum Hall system with high Chern number. Edge states from the lowest Landau level have similar eigenfunctions which are well localized at the system edge and independent of the Fermi energy. On the other hand, at fixed Fermi energy, the edge state from higher Landau levels has larger expansion, which leads to less stable quantum Hall states at high Fermi energies. By presenting the local current density distribution, the influence of disorder on eigenmode-resolved edge states is vividly demonstrated.
