Fractional Chern insulators are the proposed phases of matter mimicking the physics of fractional quantum Hall states on a lattice without an overall magnetic field. The notion of Floquet fractional Chern insulators refers to the potential possibilities to generate the underlying topological bandstructure by means of Floquet engineering. In these schemes, a highly controllable and strongly interacting system is periodically driven by an external force at a frequency such that double tunneling events during one forcing period become important and contribute to shaping the required effective energy bands. We show that in the described circumstances it is necessary to take into account also third order processes combining two tunneling events with interactions. Referring to the obtained contributions as micromotion-induced interactions, we find that those interactions tend to have a negative impact on the stability of of fractional Chern insulating phases and discuss implications for future experiments.

High-frequency approximation for periodically driven quantum systems from a Floquet-space perspective
我们导出了周期驱动量子系统的有效哈密顿量和微动算符的系统高频展开式。我们的方法是基于块对角化的准能量算子在扩展的Floquet希尔伯特空间通过退化扰动理论。最后的结果是等效的,在一个不同的方法[物理。修订版本\ A { \bf 68},013820(2003),Phys.\修订版本\ X { \bf 4},031027(2014)],并且还可以与Floquet-Magnus展开[J.\物理学\ A { \bf 34},3379(2000)]。我们讨论的驱动相位,困扰后者的依赖,可以导致人为的对称性破缺。高频的方法是使用周期性驱动的哈伯德模型的例子来说明。此外,我们讨论了近似的性质和它的局限性的系统的许多相互作用的粒子。

Non-equilibrium steady states of ideal bosonic and fermionic quantum gases
本文研究了玻色子和费米子驱动耗散理想量子气体的非平衡定态。我们专注于尖锐的粒子数的系统,驱动出平衡的耦合到几个不同温度的热浴或通过时间周期驱动结合耦合到一个热浴。在(Floquet-)Born-Markov理论的框架内,详细描述了几种分析和数值方法。这包括一个平均场论的占领数,一个增广的平均场论,考虑到也非平凡的两粒子相关性,和量子跳跃型蒙特卡罗模拟。对于理想费米气体的情况,这些方法被应用到简单的晶格模型,并指出通过浴工程实现奇异态的可能性。这项工作的最大部分致力于玻色量子气体和玻色选择现象,玻色选择是玻色凝聚的非平衡概括,其中选择多个单粒子态以获得大的占据[Phys. Rev. Lett. 111,240405(2013)]。在这种情况下,除其他外,我们提供了一个理论的过渡所选择的状态的变化,描述了一个有效的算法来找到所选择的状态的集合,调查超越平均场效应,并确定在玻色选择状态的热传输的主导机制。
