Ultracold atoms provide controllable platforms to study many quantum mechanical phenomena. Here the authors use noninteracting fermions of ultracold Li atoms with tunable time‐periodic dissipation or coupling to demonstrate the breaking and restoration of parity‐time symmetry.

By subjecting a Chern insulator to a circular drive, its geometrical and topological properties would be accessible from the spectroscopic response. This prediction is now confirmed in a Floquet topological system realized by ultracold fermionic atoms.

Spin-orbit coupling is interesting for fundamental understanding of spin transport and quench dynamics. Here the authors demonstrate spin-current generation and its relaxation in spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb atoms in different spin states.

While topological states are often characterized by their global properties related to the topological invariants, the introduced real-space topological markers provide new insights to these states.
