Floquet states in open quantum systems

T Mori - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
In Floquet engineering, periodic driving is used to realize novel phases of matter that are
inaccessible in thermal equilibrium. For this purpose, the Floquet theory provides us a recipe …

Quantum and classical Floquet prethermalization

WW Ho, T Mori, DA Abanin, EG Dalla Torre - Annals of Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
Time-periodic (Floquet) driving is a powerful way to control the dynamics of complex
systems, which can be used to induce a plethora of new physical phenomena. However …

Dynamical obstruction to localization in a disordered spin chain

D Sels, A Polkovnikov - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We analyze a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a disordered magnetic field. As the main
probes of the system's behavior, we use the sensitivity of eigenstates to adiabatic …

Floquet prethermalization in a bose-hubbard system

A Rubio-Abadal, M Ippoliti, S Hollerith, D Wei, J Rui… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
Periodic driving has emerged as a powerful tool in the quest to engineer new and exotic
quantum phases. While driven many-body systems are generically expected to absorb …

Classical discrete time crystals

NY Yao, C Nayak, L Balents, MP Zaletel - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
The spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry in periodically driven quantum
systems leads to a new phase of matter: the discrete time crystal (DTC). This phase exhibits …

Classical prethermal phases of matter

A Pizzi, A Nunnenkamp, J Knolle - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Systems subject to a high-frequency drive can spend an exponentially long time in a
prethermal regime, in which novel phases of matter with no equilibrium counterpart can be …

Prethermalization and thermalization in periodically driven many-body systems away from the high-frequency limit

C Fleckenstein, M Bukov - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We investigate a class of periodically driven many-body systems that allows us to extend the
phenomenon of prethermalization to the vicinity of isolated intermediate-to-low drive …

Energy diffusion and absorption in chaotic systems with rapid periodic driving

W Hodson, C Jarzynski - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
When a chaotic, ergodic Hamiltonian system with N degrees of freedom is subject to
sufficiently rapid periodic driving, its energy evolves diffusively. We derive a Fokker-Planck …

Bridging the gap between classical and quantum many-body information dynamics

A Pizzi, D Malz, A Nunnenkamp, J Knolle - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
The fundamental question of how information spreads in closed quantum many-body
systems is often addressed through the lens of the bipartite entanglement entropy, a quantity …

Characterizations of prethermal states in periodically driven many-body systems with unbounded chaotic diffusion

A Rajak, I Dana, EG Dalla Torre - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We introduce well-defined characterizations of prethermal states in realistic periodically
driven many-body systems with unbounded chaotic diffusion of the kinetic energy. These …
