Floquet theory is an indispensable tool for analysing periodically-driven quantum many-body systems. Although it does not universally extend to classical systems, some of its methodologies can be adopted in the presence of well-separated…

Nonlinear classical dissipative systems present a rich phenomenology in their "route to chaos", including period-doubling, i.e. the system evolves with a period which is twice that of the driving. However, typically the attractor of a…
We investigate a simple model corresponding to particles driven in opposite directions and interacting via a repulsive potential. The particles move off-lattice on a periodic strip and are subject to random forces as well. We show that this…
Floquet engineering, the control of a quantum system by means of time-periodic driving, allows to modify the properties of the system so that it becomes described by an approximate effective time-independent Hamiltonian. However, in the…

Evaluating the linear response of a driven system to a change in environment temperature(s) is essential for understanding thermal properties of nonequilibrium systems. The system is kept in weak contact with possibly different fast…
Many-body localized (MBL) systems are known to thermalize in periodically driven systems. In this work, we demonstrate that under proper driving protocol, this thermalization this thermalization can be resisted such that the MBL phase turns…
Discrete time crystals are periodically driven systems characterized by a response with periodicity $nT$, with $T$ the period of the drive and $n>1$. Typically, $n$ is an integer and bounded from above by the dimension of the local (or…

Quantum adiabaticity is the evolution of a quantum system that remains close to an instantaneous eigenstate of a time-dependent Hamiltonian. Using Floquet formalism, we derive a rigorous sufficient condition for adiabaticity in closed,…

Periodic driving enables the engineering of complex quantum matter, yet in interacting systems it generically leads to energy absorption, which limits the lifetime of the engineered states. To address this challenge, dynamical freezing has…
