TT 85: Focus Session: Emergent Phenomena in Driven Quantum Many-Body Systems (joint session DY/TT)

Thursday, March 15, 2018, 09:30–11:30, EB 107

In the past years, driven quantum many-body systems have been demonstrated to offer a huge playground for emergent states of matter. These range from light-induced switching of phases in solids and laser-modified chemical reactions via Floquet topological states in photonic crystals to artificial gauge fields in optical lattices and Floquet time crystals in many-body localized systems. The goal of the proposed session Emergent phenomena in driven quantum many-body systems is to bring together distinguished scientists from a variety of fields who work on driven quantum systems from different perspectives, both theoretically and experimentally, to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions and guide future research directions. For the general audience, this is an opportunity to gain a broad overview of a growing research field with great potential and many open questions.
