SUMMARY:Chiral Floquet Phases
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Adrian Po\, Harvard University\n\nPart of the Condens
	ed Matter Theory Seminar Series.\n\nPeriodically driven quantum systems\, a
	ka Floquet problems\, have been recently identified as a prime platform for
	 the study of topologically nontrivial quantum dynamics. Absent the notion 
	of ground state(s)\, many-body localization plays a crucial role in the def
	inition of such Floquet phases. Strikingly\, some of the discovered phases 
	are intrinsically dynamical\, in the sense that they do not admit static co
	unterparts. In this talk\, I will describe our results on the study of chir
	al phases in this context. First\, I will discuss an analog of the integer 
	quantum Hall phases\, where instead of charge or heat\, quantum information
	 is pumped along the edge in a unidirectional manner. Next\, I will present
	 an extension of this phase into one featuring intrinsic topological order\
	, where the pumping of emergent Majorana fermions along the edge is\, surpr
	isingly\, accompanied by a necessary dynamical anyon transmutation in the b
