We study the dynamics of isolated interacting spin chains that are periodically driven by sudden quenches. Using full exact diagonalization of finite chains, we show that these systems exhibit three distinct regimes. For short driving periods, the Floquet Hamiltonian is well approximated by the time-averaged Hamiltonian, while for long periods the evolution operator exhibits properties of random matrices of a Circular Ensemble (CE). In-between, there is a crossover regime. Based on a finite…

Local observables in generic periodically driven closed quantum systems are known to relax to values described by periodic infinite temperature ensembles. At the same time, ergodic static systems
Absence of thermalization in finite isolated interacting Floquet systems

Conventional wisdom suggests that the long-time behavior of isolated interacting periodically driven (Floquet) systems is a featureless maximal-entropy state characterized by an infinite temperature.

We consider the dynamics of an XY spin chain subjected to an external transverse field which is periodically quenched between two values. By deriving an exact expression of the Floquet Hamiltonian

An effective model of the MBL phase is proposed in terms of an extensive number of emergent local integrals of motion, which naturally explains the spectral and dynamical properties of this phase.
Steady states of a quasiperiodically driven integrable system

Physical Review B

Driven many-body quantum systems where some parameter in the Hamiltonian is varied quasiperiodically in time may exhibit nonequilibrium steady states that are qualitatively different from their
Aperiodically driven integrable systems and their emergent steady states

Does a closed quantum many-body system that is continually driven with a time-dependent Hamiltonian finally reach a steady state? This question has only recently been answered for driving protocols
Exponentially slow heating in short and long-range interacting Floquet systems
• Physics
Physical Review Research
• 2019
We analyze the dynamics of periodically-driven (Floquet) Hamiltonians with short- and long-range interactions, finding clear evidence for a thermalization time, $\tau^*$, that increases exponentially
Universal long-time behavior of stochastically driven interacting quantum systems
• Physics
• 2021
One of the most important concepts in non-equilibrium physics is relaxation. In the vicinity of a classical critical point, the relaxation time can diverge and result in a universal power-law for the
