Periodic driving is used to steer physical systems to unique stationary states or nonequilibrium steady states (NESS), producing enhanced properties inaccessible to non-driven systems. For open quantum systems, characterizing the NESS is…
Periodically driven many-body systems generally heat towards a featureless 'infinite-temperature' state. As an alternative to uniform heating in a clean system, here we establish a Floquet superheating regime, where fast heating nucleates…
Floquet engineering of closed quantum systems can lead to the formation of long-lived prethermal states that, in general, eventually thermalize to infinite temperature. Coupling these driven systems to dissipative baths can stabilize such…
Non-equilibrium steady states are created when a periodically driven quantum system is also incoherently interacting with an environment -- as it is the case in most realistic situations. The notion of Floquet engineering refers to the…
We investigate the non-equilibrium topology of a periodically driven, dissipative Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain using the ensemble geometric phase (EGP) $\phi_{\mathrm{EGP}}$-a generalisation of the Zak phase to open quantum systems. In…
