Interference in Floquet-Volkov transitions

چکیده
Floquet states are signatured by pseudoeigenvalues which are discretely separated by the photon energy. Similarly, the laser-assisted photoemission effect (LAPE) induces electron-photon energy exchange (with momentum change), and also results in a discrete energy distribution. Both effects result from coherent interactions of electrons and photons. Here, we investigate the coherent interference between a Floquet state and the LAPE effect.

Floquet formulation for the investigation of multiphoton quantum interference in a superconducting qubit driven by a strong ac field
We present a Floquet treatment of multiphoton quantum interference in a strongly driven superconducting flux qubit. The periodically time-dependent Schrödinger equation can be reduced to an equivalent timeindependent infinite-dimensional Floquet matrix eigenvalue problem. For resonant or nearly resonant multiphoton transitions, we extend the generalized Van Vleck GVV nearly degenerate high-orde...
متن کاملFloquet spin states in graphene under ac-driven spin-orbit interaction
We study the role of periodically driven time-dependent Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) on a monolayer graphene sample. After recasting the originally 4 × 4 system of dynamical equations as two time-reversal related two-level problems, the quasienergy spectrum and the related dynamics are investigated via various techniques and approximations. In the static case, the system is gapped at the D...
متن کاملSpecial analytical properties of ultrastrong coherent fields
Emerging ultrastrong-laser capabilities that can reveal details of vacuum structure have intensified research into the fundamentals of quantum electrodynamics. It has been more than half a century since relativistic nonperturbative methods were introduced into the study of strong-field phenomena. Much of the early progress remains of fundamental relevance, but is known to only a small group of ...
متن کاملGeneralized Floquet formulation of time-dependent current-density-functional theory
We present a generalized Floquet formulation of time-dependent current-density-functional theory for nonperturbative treatment of multiphoton processes of many-electron systems in intense monochromatic electric and magnetic fields. It is shown that the time-dependent Kohn-Sham-like equation can be transformed into an equivalent time-independent Floquet Hamiltonian matrix eigenvalue problem. A p...
متن کاملAnomalous Topological Phases and Unpaired Dirac Cones in Photonic Floquet Topological Insulators.
We propose a class of photonic Floquet topological insulators based on staggered helical lattices and an efficient numerical method for calculating their Floquet band structure. The lattices support anomalous Floquet topological insulator phases with vanishing Chern number and tunable topological transitions. At the critical point of the topological transition, the band structure hosts a single...
