Abstract
A quantum kicked rotor model is one of the promising systems to realize various Floquet topological phases. We consider a double-kicked rotor model for a one-dimensional quasi-spin-1/2 Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-dependent and spin-independent kicks which are implementable for cold atomic experiments. We theoretically show that the model can realize all the Altland-Zirnbauer classes with nontrivial topology in one dimension. In the case of class CII, we show that a pair of winding numbers (w0, w pi ) is an element of 2Z x 2Z featuring the edge states at zero and pi quasienergy, respectively, takes various values depending on the strengths of the kicks. We also find that the winding numbers change to Z when we break the time-reversal and particle-hole symmetries by changing the phase of a kicking lattice. We numerically confirm that the winding numbers can be obtained by measuring the mean chiral displacement in the long-time limit in the present case with four internal degrees of freedom. We further propose two feasible methods to experimentally realize the spin-dependent and spin-independent kicks required for various topological phases.
