The topology of two-dimensional materials traditionally manifests itself through the quantization of the Hall conductance, which is revealed in transport measurements.

Recently, it was predicted that topology can also give rise to a quantized spectroscopic response upon subjecting a Chern insulator to a circular drive.

Here we experimentally demonstrate this intriguing topological effect for the first time, using ultracold fermionic atoms in topological Floquet bands.

In addition, our depletion-rate measurements also provide a first experimental estimation of the Wannier-spread functional, a fundamental geometric property of Bloch bands.
