• Abstract summary: We study a central spin that is quasiperiodically driven by two incommensurate frequencies, and statically coupled to $N-1$ surrounding spins. In the strong coupling regime, the adiabatic dynamics of the total system is readily understood to imprint on the central spin an $N$-fold enhanced topological frequency conversion. We argue that the topological burning glass effect is induced by the non-unitary dynamics of the central spin, which locally involves the collective motion of the surrounding spins.

• Abstract: We reveal a topological burning glass effect, where the local response of a system exhibits a topological quantization that is enhanced by an integer due to its environmental coupling. As a paradigmatic platform for this intriguing phenomenon, we study a central spin that is quasiperiodically driven by two incommensurate frequencies, and statically coupled to $N-1$ surrounding spins. In the strong coupling regime, the adiabatic dynamics of the total system is readily understood to imprint on the central spin an $N$-fold enhanced topological frequency conversion between the two driving frequencies. We argue that the topological burning glass effect is induced by the non-unitary dynamics of the central spin, which locally involves the collective motion of the surrounding spins. Our results are derived in the framework of adiabatic perturbation theory and fully corroborated by exact numerical simulations.

• A topologically protected quantum dynamo effect in a driven spin-boson model [0.0]
  We describe a quantum dynamo effect in a driven system coupled to a harmonic oscillator describing a cavity mode or to a collection of modes forming an Ohmic bosonic bath. This field opposes the change of the external driving field in a way reminiscent of Faraday's law of induction. We show that the dynamo effect is directly related to the dynamically measured topology of this spin-$frac12$ and thus in the adiabatic limit provides a topologically protected method to convert driving work into a coherent field in the reservoir.

The number of mean-field topological phase is determined by the spin polarizations of four Dirac points at the time $t_s$.
