Floquet State - Time Evolution
Is it possible to write the time evolution of a generic quantum state in terms of a floquet basis? It seems that the answer is yes, although this seems wrong.
In general, time evolution in a system ...

Usage of Floquet's Method
I'm treating with a nonlinear system of ODE, in which one of my fixed points is non-hyperbolic, that is, its eigenvalues has ($\Re(\lambda_{1,2}) = 0$). Therefore, I cannot say anything about its ...

What is the relation between eigenstate thermalisation and infinite heating in Floquet systems?
Closed quantum systems with periodically changing parameters (Floquet systems) typically heat up to an infinite temperature at large times. I have read multiple times (the last time was here) that ...

In Floquet theory, what is the physical significance of the Fourier coefficients?
Floquet theory is the study of (quasi)-periodic solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation when the system is subjected to a time-periodic Hamiltonian.$\newcommand{\ket}[1]{\left|#1\right\...

Can different Floquet replicas be distinguished (within Floquet's theorem)?
According to Floquet's theorem, two quasi-energies separated by $n\hbar \omega$ represent the same state. According to this, I would think different replicas are indistinguishable experimentally. ...

Are there exact expressions for the Floquet states of a periodically-forced, undamped harmonic oscillator?
For this question I was looking for the Floquet states of a quantum harmonic oscillator driven by a non-resonant harmonic force, and I had a rather harder time finding it than the simplicity of the ...

How to observe Floquet state?
The Schrodinger equation is
$$i\hbar\partial_t\psi(t)=H(t)\psi(t).$$
Now, given that the situation that the Hamiltonian is periodically driven, i.e., $H(t+T)=H(t)$, then the equation can be solved ...

Floquet and Bloch's theorems : connection?
It is often stated that Bloch's theorem and Floquet's theorem are equivalent, even the Bloch's theorem is often referred as Floquet-Bloch theorem.
However, it seems quite confusing to me since the ...

Floquet quasienergy spectrum, continuous or discrete?
I haven't got a feeling about Floquet quasienergy, although it is talked by many people these days.
Floquet theorem:
Consider a Hamiltonian which is time periodic $H(t)=H(t+\tau)$. The ...
