Steering edge currents through a Floquet topological insulator

Periodic driving may cause topologically protected, chiral transport along edges of a two-dimensional (2D) lattice that, without driving, would be topologically trivial. We study what happens if one adds a different on-site potential along the diagonal of such a 2D grid. In addition to the usual bul...
