A many-body Wannier-Stark system coupled to an effective reservoir is studied within a non-Hermitian approach in the presence of a periodic driving. We show how the interplay of dissipation and driving dynamically induces a subspace of…

We show that when a quantum system is coupled to an environment in a mean field way, then its effective dynamics is governed by a unitary group with a time-dependent Hamiltonian. The time-dependent modification of the bare system…
Periodically driven quantum systems exhibit many fascinating phenomena absent in equilibrium systems, but their simulation is more challenging than that of static systems. Consequently, quantum simulation of these systems offers greater…
We study the perturbative response of a complex quantum system on time changes of an external parameter $X$. The driven dynamics is treated in adiabatic basis of the system's Hamiltonian $\hat{H}[X]$. Within a random matrix approach we…

A key quantity characterizing a time-periodically forced quantum system coupled to a heat bath is the energy flowing in the steady state through the system into the bath, where it is dissipated. We derive a general expression which allows…
We address the nature of phase transitions in periodically driven systems coupled to a bath. The latter enables a synchronized non-equilibrium Floquet steady state at finite entropy, which we analyse for rapid drives within a…
