We discover a class of spacetime symmetries unique to time-periodic systems, which we term "mixing symmetry" due to its combination of space and time coordinates in the symmetry transformation. We systematically enumerate the symmetry…
Quantum particles performing Bloch oscillations in a spatially periodic potential can be used as a very accurate detector of constant forces. We find that the similar oscillations that can appear in the Floquet phase space of a quantum…
