Colloquium: Atomic quantum gases in periodically driven optical lattices

A Eckardt - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
Time-periodic forcing in the form of coherent radiation is a standard tool for the coherent
manipulation of small quantum systems like single atoms. In the last years, periodic driving …

Universal high-frequency behavior of periodically driven systems: from dynamical stabilization to Floquet engineering

M Bukov, L D'Alessio, A Polkovnikov - Advances in Physics, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
We give a general overview of the high-frequency regime in periodically driven systems and
identify three distinct classes of driving protocols in which the infinite-frequency Floquet …

Landau–zener–stückelberg interferometry

SN Shevchenko, S Ashhab, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2010 - Elsevier
A transition between energy levels at an avoided crossing is known as a Landau–Zener
transition. When a two-level system (TLS) is subject to periodic driving with sufficiently large …

Floquet–Magnus theory and generic transient dynamics in periodically driven many-body quantum systems

T Kuwahara, T Mori, K Saito - Annals of Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
