• Abstract: We formulate a one-dimensional flux-controlled anomalous Floquet quantum walk and show that it admits a direct microscopic realization in a driven bipartite lattice. The walk consists of a coin-dependent drift step and a momentum-dependent coin mixing step, so the same evolution operator governs quasienergy bands, boundary modes, and bulk dynamics in real space. Because the walk is chiral, the quasienergy gaps at $0$ and $π/T$ carry independent topological information, which organizes trivial, $0$-only, $π$-only, and coexistence sectors in the $(M,φ)$ plane. In the coexistence sector, a $0$ mode and a $π$ mode reside on the same edge and span a natural boundary logical subspace. One Floquet period acts there as a relative phase operation and produces a clear $2T$ response in local boundary observables. In the bulk, the same anomalous Floquet structure is probed dynamically in two complementary ways. Frame-resolved mean chiral displacements approach the two winding numbers in the clean pre-reflection window of the symmetric time frames, while selected benchmark cuts at a representative $0$ gap closing and a representative $π$ gap closing exhibit distinct local stroboscopic responses, with the $π$ gap benchmark showing a much stronger odd-even alternation. The boundary logical subspace and the bulk dynamical probes are therefore organized within one flux-controlled anomalous Floquet quantum walk, suggesting a symmetry-protected route to quantum-walk information primitives in driven microstructured lattices.

By measuring the minimal information of Floquet bands via the stroboscopic time-averaged spin polarizations, we show that the topological spin texture patterns emerging on certain discrete momenta of Brillouin zone. Our work provides a highly feasible way to detect the $Z_2$ Floquet topology and completes the dynamical characterization for the full classes of Floquet topological phases.
