Floquet engineering the band structure of materials with optimal control theory

We demonstrate that the electronic structure of a material can be deformed into Floquet pseudobands with arbitrarily tailored shapes. We achieve this goal with a combination of quantum optimal control theory and Floquet engineering. The power and versatility of this framework is demonstrated here by...
