contents The study of classical waves in time-periodic systems is experiencing a resurgence of interest, motivated by their rich physics and the new engineering opportunities they enable, with several analogies to parallel efforts in other branches of physics, e.g., Floquet-engineered quantum materials and time crystals. Here, we first briefly review some of the most prominent features enabled by time-periodic modulations, and we then focus on two specific areas, namely, time-varying systems to break reciprocity and to overcome various theoretical limitations and performance bounds, discussing their current status, challenges, and opportunities.
