- Abstract: We investigate the dynamical characterization theory for periodically driven
systems in which Floquet topology can be fully detected by emergent topological
patterns of quench dynamics in momentum subspaces called band-inversion
surfaces. We improve the results of a recent work [Zhang et al., Phys. Rev.
Lett. 125, 183001 (2020)] and propose a more flexible scheme to characterize a
generic class of $d$-dimensional Floquet topological phases classified by
$\mathbb{Z}$-valued invariants by applying a quench along an arbitrary
spin-polarization axis. Our basic idea is that by disassembling the Floquet
system into multiple static subsystems that are periodic in quasienergy, a full
characterization of Floquet topological phases reduces to identifying a series
of bulk topological invariants for time-independent Hamiltonians, which greatly
enhances the convenience and flexibility of the measurement. We illustrate the
scheme by numerically analyzing two experimentally realizable models in two and
three dimensions, respectively, and adopting two different but equivalent
viewpoints to examine the dynamical characterization. Finally, considering the
imperfection of experiment, we demonstrate that the present scheme can also be
applied to a general situation where the initial state is not completely
polarized. This study provides an immediately implementable approach for
dynamically classifying Floquet topological phases in ultracold atoms or other
quantum simulators.

Periodically driven non-Hermitian systems could possess exotic nonequilibrium phases with unique topological, dynamical and transport properties.
We introduce an experimentally realizable two-leg ladder model subjecting to both time-periodic quenches and non-Hermitian effects.
Our work thus introduces a new type of non-Hermitian Floquet topological matter, and further reveals the richness of topology and dynamics in driven open systems.

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.

This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
