• Abstract: Synthetic materials that emulate tight-binding Hamiltonians have enabled a wide range of advances in topological and non-Hermitian physics. A crucial requirement in such systems is the engineering of non-reciprocal couplings and synthetic magnetic fields. More broadly, the development of these capabilities in a manner compatible with quantum-coherent degrees of freedom remains an outstanding challenge, particularly for superconducting circuits, which are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Here we demonstrate that pure gyration -- a non-reciprocal coupling with exactly matched magnitude but non-reciprocal $\pi$ phase contrast -- can be realized between degenerate states using only spatio-temporal modulation. Our experiments are performed using microwave superconducting resonators that are modulated using dc-SQUID arrays. We first show the existence of continuous exceptional surfaces in modulation parameter space where coupling with arbitrarily-large magnitude contrast can be achieved, with robust volumes of $\pi$ phase contrast contained within. We then demonstrate that intersection of these volumes necessarily gives rise to new continuous surfaces in parameter space where pure gyration is achieved. With this we experimentally demonstrate $>58$ dB isolation and the first on-chip gyrator with only superconducting circuit elements. Our method is fully agnostic to physical implementation (classical or quantum) or frequency range and paves the way to large-scale non-reciprocal metamaterials.

  Lightwave periodic driving of nearly dissipation-less currents has recently emerged as a universal control concept for superconducting (SC) and topological electronics applications. We report the discovery of lightwave-controlled superconductivity via parametric time-periodic driving of strongly-coupled bands in iron-based superconductors. We are able to measure non-perturbative, high-order correlations in this strongly-driven superconductivity by separating the THz multi-dimensional coherent spectra into conventional pump-probe, Higgs collective mode, and pronounced bi-Higgs frequency sideband peaks with highly nonlinear field dependence.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.
