In presence of interactions, a closed, homogeneous (disorder-free) many-body system is believed to generically heat up to an `infinite temperature' ensemble when subjected to a periodic drive: in the spirit of the ergodicity hypothesis…
We demonstrate that a boundary-localized periodic (Floquet) drive can induce nontrivial long-range correlations in a non-interacting fermionic chain which is additionally subject to boundary dissipation. Surprisingly, we find that this…
We develop a theory to derive effective Floquet Hamiltonians in the weak drive and low-frequency regime. We construct the theory in analogy with band theory for electrons in a spatially-periodic and weak potential, such as occurs in some…
Periodically driven thermodynamic systems support stable non-equilibrium oscillating states with properties drastically different from equilibrium. They exhibit even more exotic features for low viscous drives, which is a regime that is…
Quantum systems that violate the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis thereby falling outside the paradigm of conventional statistical mechanics are of both intellectual and practical interest. We show that such a breaking of ergodicity may…
We investigate a class of periodically driven many-body systems that allows us to extend the phenomenon of prethermalization to the vicinity of isolated intermediate-to-low drive frequencies away from the high-frequency limit. We provide…
The advancements of quantum processors offer a promising new window to study exotic states of matter. One striking example is the possibility of non-ergodic behaviour in systems with a large number of local degrees of freedom. Here we use a…
Confinement of excitations induces quasilocalized dynamics in disorder-free isolated quantum many-body systems in one spatial dimension. This occurrence is signalled by severe suppression of quantum correlation spreading and of entanglement…
