Floquet phases of matter have attracted great attention due to their dynamical and topological nature that are unique nonequilibrium settings. In this work, we introduce a generic way taking any integer q q th-root the evolution operator U display="inline">U describes matter. We further apply our th-rooting procedure obtain 2^n display="inline">2n th- 3^n display="inline">3n first- second-order non-Hermitian insulators~(FTIs).

Modulated Floquet topological insulators.
The application of spatially uniform light on conventional insulators can induce Floquet spectra with characteristics akin to those of topological insulators. We demonstrate that spatial modulation of light allows for remarkable control of the properties in these systems. We provide configurations to generate one-dimensional bulk modes, photoinduced currents, as well as fractionalized excitatio...
متن کاملDisorder-induced Floquet topological insulators.
We investigate the possibility of realizing a disorder-induced topological Floquet spectrum in two-dimensional periodically driven systems. Such a state would be a dynamical realization of the topological Anderson insulator. We establish that a disorder-induced trivial-to-topological transition indeed occurs, and characterize it by computing the disorder averaged Bott index, suitably defined fo...
متن کاملFloquet topological insulators for sound
The unique conduction properties of condensed matter systems with topological order have recently inspired a quest for the similar effects in classical wave phenomena. Acoustic topological insulators, in particular, hold the promise to revolutionize our ability to control sound, allowing for large isolation in the bulk and broadband one-way transport along their edges, with topological immunity...
متن کاملObservation of photonic anomalous Floquet topological insulators
Topological insulators are a new class of materials that exhibit robust and scatter-free transport along their edges - independently of the fine details of the system and of the edge - due to topological protection. To classify the topological character of two-dimensional systems without additional symmetries, one commonly uses Chern numbers, as their sum computed from all bands below a specifi...
متن کاملFloquet fractional Chern insulators.
We show theoretically that periodically driven systems with short range Hubbard interactions offer a feasible platform to experimentally realize fractional Chern insulator states. We exemplify the procedure for both the driven honeycomb and the square lattice, where we derive the effective steady state band structure of the driven system by using the Floquet theory and subsequently study the in...
