Manipulating correlated quantum magnets by a periodic drive (C06)

强电磁驱动的应用已经成为操纵材料性能的一条强有力的新途径。值得注意的是，已经预测到，例如具有拓扑性质的受欢迎的量子相可以通过周期驱动来产生。然而，包括非平凡的加热动力学和特定于材料的联轴器在内的实际计算都缺失。这个项目的中心目标将是从理论上研究如何通过现实的驱动协议来实现量子磁体的新的动力学相，以及如何探索人们渴望的拓扑磁相的出现特性。

The application of a strong electromagnetic drive has emerged as a powerful new route to manipulate materials properties. Remarkably, it has been predicted that sought-after quantum phases, for example with topological properties, can be created by periodic driving. However, realistic calculations including the non-trivial heating dynamics and material specific couplings are missing. The central goal of this project will be to theoretically investigate how novel dynamical phases of quantum magnets can be realized by realistic driving protocols and how to probe the emergent properties of sought-after topological magnetic phases.
