Floquet engineering provides an optical means to manipulate electronic bandstructures, however, carriers excited by the pump field can lead to an effective heating, and can obscure measurement of the band changes. A recent demonstration of…
We consider the rates of relaxation of a particle in a harmonic well, subject to L\'evy noise characterized by its L\'evy index $\mu$. Using the propagator for this L\'evy Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process (LOUP), we show that the eigenvalue…
