It is well understood that many-body systems driven at high frequency heat up only exponentially slowly and exhibit a long prethermalization regime. We prove rigorously that a certain relevant class of systems heat very slowly under weak…

Non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly and rapidly driven quantum many-body systems is poorly understood beyond periodic driving, where heating is exponentially slow in the drive frequency (Floquet Prethermalization). In contrast,…
