Abstract
Recent studies have attracted widespread attention on magnet-superconductor hybrid systems with emergent topological superconductivity. Here, we present the Floquet engineering of realistic two-dimensional topological nodal-point superconductors that are composed of antiferromagnetic monolayers in proximity to an s-wave superconductor. We show that Floquet chiral topological superconductivity arises due to light-induced breaking of the effective time-reversal symmetry. More strikingly, we find that the Floquet chiral topological superconducting phases can be flexibly controlled by irradiating elliptically polarized light, with the photon-dressed quasienergy spectrum carrying different Chern numbers. Such optically switchable topological transitions arise from the simultaneous creations (or annihilations) of valley pairs, which are attributed to the intertwining with magnetic symmetry, superconductivity, and topology. Our findings provide a feasible approach for achieving the Floquet chiral topological superconductivity with flexible tunability, which would draw extensive attention in experiments.
