Abstract

Periodically driven quantum systems provide a powerful route to engineer novel states of matter by controlling their effective Hamiltonians through external fields. However, most treatments are usually simplified by considering the high-frequency limit, and do not account for the processes taking place in the transient regime during the onset of the drive. In this work, we introduce a time and momentum resolved tunneling spectroscopy protocol to probe the instantaneous energy spectrum of Floquet-driven systems beyond the high-frequency regime, capturing both emergent effects and non-adiabatic phenomena without requiring explicit reconstruction of the full time-dependent Green's function. We benchmark the method on driven non-interacting fermionic models, and then generalize the approach to strongly correlated systems with the aid of time-dependent density matrix renormalization group techniques. We also provide a microscopic description to the emergence of in-gap states under resonant driving, and briefly explore its finite temperature analog.

A projection operator approach for ultracold bosons coupled to a cavity

We employ a projection operator technique to study the equilibrium phases and the non-equilibrium quench and ramp dynamics of ultracold bosons described by a two-dimensional (2D) Bose-Hubbard model coupled to a high-finesse cavity with competing local short-range and cavity-mediated long-range interactions. Our analysi...

Dissipation across the ultrastrong-coupling regime of nanomechanical quantum Rabi systems

Mechanical resonators ultrastrongly coupled to quantum two-level systems provide a promising route towards mechanical qubits by introducing significant anharmonicity to the mechanical modes, particularly in the slow-oscillator regime. Although the resulting hybrid system is well described by the quantum Rabi model, a c...

Energy partitioning of wave packets in one-dimensional systems

We investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of wave packets in a one-dimensional critical fermionic system and analyze the resulting partitioning of energy between emergent excitations. Starting from a Gaussian wave packet injected on top of the many-body ground state, we follow its real-time evolution using the time-d...

Monitored free fermions under periodic driving

We investigate analytically and numerically a one-dimensional periodically driven free-fermionic system subjected to monitoring of the local particle density. Based on the analytical approach that describes the long-wavelength physics of the time-dependent Hamiltonian in the field-theoretical language using the nonline...

Topological signatures in the quench dynamics of periodically driven quantum systems

We study the quench dynamics of graphene, without and with a staggered mass, following the sudden switch-on of circularly polarized light where coupling to a fermionic bath is also considered. Using an armchair nanoribbon, we compute the period-averaged bond current near the edge at successive stroboscopic times. For t...

Nonequilibrium full counting statistics of multicomponent strongly-interacting quantum gases with defects

We investigate the full counting statistics of a one-dimensional multicomponent impenetrable gas released from a bipartite state in the presence of a local defect. Spin--charge separation reduces the multivariate generating function to an exact Fredholm determinant whose kernel is built from time-evolved single-particl...
