The aim of this project is to study Floquet topological superfluidity using 2D gases of lithium-6 atoms in the vicinity of a p-wave Feshbach resonance. Experiments to date have found that gases prepared near a p-wave resonance become unstable due to inelastic losses. Recent theoretical work has identified a potential way to overcome these losses in lower-dimensional and periodically modulated systems. This research will explore pathways for utilising non-equilibrium phenomena to enhance dissipationless transport in two-dimensional quantum matter.
