Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Creating synthetic dimensions with light# PhD Po ... (No replies)

Abstract: Driving a quantum many-body system allows to realize novel and exotic phenomena. One of these routes of control is Floquet engineering, which exploits that the basic idea that a periodically driven system can be viewed as a quasi-static one in composite real and time space. Using this viewpoint allows to engineer new, synthetic dimensions mixing the space and time paradigm. In this project we aim to explore this avenue of control to study one-dimensional materials and explore how their topological and correlated properties can be altered. One dimensional systems are particularly intriguing in this regard as they exhibit fascinating many-body and topological phenomena on the one hand; and on the other hand are particularly amendable to a theoretical description. The successful candidate will use and develop DFT, tight-binding and tensor network methods to address the above outlined questions with a focus on how synthetic time-space dimensions can be utilized in experiments.
