• Title: Dissipative preparation of many-body Floquet Chern insulators
• Authors: Souvik Bandyopadhyay and Amit Dutta
• Abstract summary: We consider coupling to a micro-structured bath as a relaxation mechanism in a periodically driven dissipative Haldane model. The amplitude and frequency of the periodic drive is so chosen that the Floquet Hamiltonian describing the Haldane model at stroboscopic instants of time is topologically non-trivial. Even with a coupling to a quasi-local bath, remarkably a Chern insulator can indeed be prepared in a Chern non-trivial pure steady state.

• Abstract: Considering coupling to a micro-structured bath as a relaxation mechanism in a periodically driven dissipative Haldane model, we establish that the system may be tuned to a stroboscopic topological steady state at all finite temperatures. The amplitude and frequency of the periodic drive is so chosen that the Floquet Hamiltonian describing the Haldane model at stroboscopic instants of time in the unitary situation is topologically non-trivial. We establish that in the stroboscopic steady state, the system reaches a thermal state of the Floquet Hamiltonian at a controlled temperature. Further, it is observed that even with a coupling to a quasi-local bath, remarkably a Chern insulator can indeed be prepared in a Chern non-trivial pure steady state which is expected to exhibit a stroboscopic bulk-boundary correspondence. Using the non-uniqueness of the macroscopic bulk electric polarisation of a Chern insulator in its topological phase, we propose a generalised Chern invariant that reflects the topology of out-of-equilibrium many-body stroboscopic states of the Haldane model even in a dissipative ambience. The generalised topology of dynamical Chern insulators being dependent on single-particle correlations, is expected to manifest in experiments probing many-body quantum observables.

  We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of the phase diagram at half- and incommensurate fillings, in the mean-field approximation. We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  The periodically modulated Bose-Hubbard dimer model offers an experimentally realizable and highly tunable platform. We apply fidelity out-of-time-order correlators to establish connections between thermalisation in Floquet system. We demonstrate that a non-zero quantum Lyapunov exponent can also be inferred from measures the delocalisation of the Floquet modes.
