What happens to the QCD vacuum when a time-periodic circularly polarized laser field with a sufficiently large intensity and frequency is applied? Based on the Floquet formalism for periodically driven systems and the systematic low-energy effective theory of QCD, we show that for a sufficiently large frequency and above a critical intensity, the QCD vacuum is unstable against the chiral soliton lattice of pions; a crystalline structure of topological solitons that spontaneously breaks parity and continuous translational symmetries. Our work would pave the way for novel "Floquet vacuum engineering."

    A modified axion model with a B-dependent topological coupling shows numerically that chiral soliton lattices form dynamically through transient edge and screw dislocations, including a stable DNA-like double helix.
