Floquet engineering of the Lifshitz phase transition in the Hubbard model

Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, we demonstrate that an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field can induce the Lifshitz phase transition in periodical structures described by the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model with the nearest and next-nearest-neighbor hopping. The transition changes the topology of electron energy spectrum at the Fermi level, transforming it from the two Fermi points to the four Fermi points, which facilitates the emergence of the superconducting fluctuations in the structure. Possible manifestations of the effect and conditions of its experimental observability are discussed.

Dynamical stabilization by vacuum fluctuations in a cavity: Resonant electron scattering in the ultrastrong light-matter coupling regime

We developed a theory of electron scattering by a short-range repulsive potential in a cavity. In the regime of ultrastrong electron coupling to the cavity electromagnetic field, the vacuum fluctuations of the field result in the dynamical stabilization of a quasistationary polariton state confined in the core of the repulsive potential. When the energy of a free electron coincides with the energy of the confined state, the extremely efficient resonant nonelastic scattering of the electron accompanied by emission of a cavity photon appears. This effect is discussed as a basis for possible free-electron sources of nonclassical light.

Floquet engineering of excitons in semiconductor quantum dots

Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, we demonstrate that a high-frequency electromagnetic field can be used as an effective tool to control excitonic properties of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). It is shown, particularly, that the field both decreases the exciton binding energy and dynamically stabilizes the exciton, increasing its radiative lifetime. The developed theory can serve as a basis for the ultrafast method to tune spectral characteristics of the QD-based photon emitters by a high-frequency field.

Fano resonances in optical spectra of semiconductor quantum wells driven by an oscillating field

Optical spectra of semiconductor quantum wells driven by an off-resonant oscillating field are studied theoretically. Due to the dynamical stabilization effect, the field induces the quasi-stationary electron states confined at repulsive scatterers and immersed into the continuum of states of conduction electrons. As a result, the Fano resonances in the spectra of interband optical transitions appear near the energies of the quasi-stationary states.
