The classical Floquet theory allows to map a time-periodic system of linear differential equations into an autonomous one. By looking at it in a geometrical way, we extend the theory to a class of non-autonomous non-periodic equations. This…

A dissipative time crystal is an emergent phase in driven-dissipative quantum many-body systems, characterized by sustained oscillations that break time-translation symmetry spontaneously. Here, we explore nonequilibrium phase transitions…
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…
Periodically driven dynamics of open quantum systems is very interesting because typically non-equilibrium steady state is reached, which is characterized by a non-vanishing current. In this work, we study time discrete and periodically…
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…
