Abstract: Floquet engineering has been used to engineer novel interactions in uncorrelated and magnetic insulating materials. Here, the authors apply this technique to simple heavy-fermion models, showing that driving these systems with periodic light introduces emergent Kondo screening channels with distinct symmetries, where the allowed channels are controlled by the light polarization. These systems can be driven through multichannel degeneracy points, dynamically realizing multichannel Kondo impurities and lattices that can be used to explore quantum critical phenomena and potentially enhance superconductivity.
