• Abstract: Nonequilibrium topological matter has been a fruitful topic of both theoretical and experimental interest. A great variety of exotic topological phases unavailable in static systems may emerge under nonequilibrium situations, often challenging our physical intuitions. How to locate the borders between different nonequilibrium topological phases is an important issue to facilitate topological characterization and further understand phase transition behaviors. In this work, we develop an unsupervised machine-learning protocol to distinguish between different Floquet (periodically driven) topological phases, by incorporating the system's dynamics within one driving period, adiabatic deformation in the time dimension, plus the system's symmetry all into our machine learning algorithm. Results from two rich case studies indicate that machine learning is able to reliably reveal intricate topological phase boundaries and can hence be a powerful tool to discover novel topological matter afforded by the time dimension.

  We investigate topological aspects of photonic crystal bands in a hybrid momentum space consisting of a genuine momentum and a synthetic one. Remarkably, the unconventional behaviour of the synthetic momentum allows for the existence of non-trivial topological phases. Our results pave the way to the paradigm of rich topological phenomena of photonic systems with hybrid momentum space.
