New Perspectives in Quantum Materials: Floquet Circuits and Magnetic Aspects of Hyperbolic Lattices

This project aims to develop new driving protocols and investigate the exotic physical properties of hyperbolic quantum materials using time-periodically modulated (“Floquet”) electrical circuits under magnetic driving. By leveraging these programmable circuits, we will explore how curvature and periodic modulation influence energy flow, spectral features, and effective magnetic behavior in synthetic hyperbolic lattices. The collaboration combines the University of Saskatchewan’s groundbreaking expertise in synthetic hyperbolic materials and hyperbolic band theory with the University of Würzburg’s world-leading capabilities in circuit-based quantum material simulation. Together, the partnership will advance the fundamental understanding of hyperbolic quantum systems while strengthening international ties and supporting future innovations in quantum science and technology.
