• Abstract: We introduce a class of models, dubbed paired twist-defect networks, that generalize the structure of Kitaev's honeycomb model for which there is a direct equivalence between: i) Floquet codes (FCs), ii) adiabatic loops of gapped Hamiltonians, and iii) unitary loops or Floquet-enriched topological orders (FETs) many-body localized phases. This formalism allows one to apply well-characterized topological index theorems for FETs to understand the dynamics of FCs, and to rapidly assess the code properties of many FC models. As an application, we show that the Honeycomb Floquet code of Haah and Hastings is governed by an irrational value of the chiral Floquet index, which implies a topological obstruction to forming a simple, logical boundary with the same periodicity as the bulk measurement schedule. In addition, we construct generalizations of the Honeycomb Floquet code exhibiting arbitrary anyon-automorphism dynamics for general types of Abelian topological order.

  We study simultaneous symmetry-breaking in a spontaneous Floquet state, focusing on the specific case of an atomic condensate. We first describe the quantization of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes for a stationary state simultaneously breaking several symmetries of the Hamiltonian. We extend the formalism to Floquet states simultaneously breaking several symmetries, where Goldstone theorem translates into the emergence of Floquet-Nambu-Goldstone modes with zero quasi-energy.

  It is shown that the stroboscopic time-evolution under a Floquet unitary, in any spatial dimension, can be mapped to an operator Krylov space. It is shown that the Floquet dynamics share certain universal features characterized by how the Krylov parameters vary in the topological phase diagram of the Floquet TFIM with homogeneous couplings.

  We investigate the dynamical characterization theory for periodically driven systems in which Floquet topology can be fully detected. We propose a more flexible scheme to characterize a generic class of $d$-dimensional Floquet topological phases. This study provides an immediately implementable approach for dynamically classifying Floquet topological phases in ultracold atoms or other quantum simulators.

  In Bayesian structure learning, we are interested in inferring a distribution over the directed acyclic graph (DAG) from data. Recently, a class of probabilistic models, called Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets), have been introduced as a general framework for generative modeling. We show that our approach, called DAG-GFlowNet, provides an accurate approximation of the posterior over DAGs.

• Unified theory to characterize Floquet topological phases by quench dynamics [6.496235214212858]
  We propose a unified theory based on quantum quenches to characterize generic $d$-dimensional ($d$D) Floquet topological phases. For a $d$D phase which is initially static and trivial, we introduce the quench dynamics by suddenly turning on the periodic driving. This prediction provides a simple and unified characterization, in which one can not only extract the number of conventional and anomalous Floquet boundary modes, but also identify the topologically protected singularities in the phase bands.
