7000+ certificate courses from Google, Microsoft, IBM, and many more.
This course focuses on the Floquet engineering of quantum scars, covering topics such as Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis, violation of ETH, classical and quantum scars, scars in quantum many-body Hamiltonians, and quantum dynamics with scars. The course teaches the realization of states with broken Zn symmetries with Rydberg atoms, the dipole model, effective dipole Hamiltonian, and periodic drive with Magnus expansion. The teaching method includes analytical calculations, derivation of Floquet Hamiltonian, and discussions on the dynamics of correlation functions. This course is intended for theorists and experimentalists working in the areas of topological order in condensed matter systems, symmetry protected topological phases, and superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene.
