Long-time Behavior of Isolated Periodically Driven Interacting Lattice Systems

Abstract

The periodic input of energy into systems---driving---can have profound effects. Scientists studying driven interacting quantum systems find that a lattice model displays three different regimes as a function of driving period.

Theoretical study of exotic quantum phases in periodically-driven systems

想太 北村

In this thesis, we theoretically investigate exotic quantum phenomena underlying periodically-driven systems.We discuss three distinct systems, noninteracting Dirac systems, lattice systems with a strong repulsive interaction, and lattice systems with a strong attractive interaction.We reveal various novel phenomena underlying these systems, and provide clear understanding of them.Periodically-driven systems, i.e., systems with a discrete time-translational symmetry, are described by the Floquet formalism, which maps the time-dependent Hamiltonian to a static "photon-dressed Hamiltonian".While a perturbative expansion of this Hamiltonian from the limit of high driving frequency has clarified various novel phenomena peculiar to periodically-driven systems, such an approach suffers from serious heating or damage when it is applied to realistic condensed matters.In this thesis, we focus on a lower-frequency regime, especially when the heating should be suppressed due to the small driving amplitude or an energy gap larger than the driving frequency.There, the high-frequency expansion cannot capture the relevant physics, so that we first formulate various perturbative expansions for three distinct regimes, i.e., high-frequency, small-amplitude, and strong-coupling regimes.We apply the small-amplitude expansion to two-and three-dimensional Dirac electrons driven by a circularly-polarized light to explore their behavior in the lowfrequency regime.We find an emergence of infinite numbers of topological gaps for the former and Weyl nodes for the latter.We also discuss how a regularization of the model affects this topological structure.We then introduce a strong repulsive interaction, and discuss behaviors of spins using the strong-coupling expansion.We predict an emergence of scalar spin chirality when a circularly-polarized light is illuminated, and discuss possible applications to photo-induced chiral spin liquids, and optical probing of spin chirality.Finally we turn to a strong attractive interaction to discuss the fate of the ordinary s-wave superconductivity under the periodic driving.We demonstrate an emergence of long sought-after η-pairing superconductivity, first as a ground state of the photon-dressed Hamiltonian, and then as a consequence of a dynamical phase transition in an isolated system such as an optical lattice system.

Entanglement asymmetry in periodically driven quantum systems

Tista Banerjee, Suchetan Das, K. Sengupta

We study the dynamics of entanglement asymmetry in periodically driven quantum systems. Using a periodically driven XY chain as a model for a driven integrable quantum system, we provide semi-analytic results for the behavior of the dynamics of the entanglement asymmetry, \Delta S Δ S , as a function of the drive frequency. Our analysis identifies special drive frequencies at which the driven XY chain exhibits dynamic symmetry restoration and displays quantum Mpemba effect over a long timescale; we identify an emergent approximate symmetry in its Floquet Hamiltonian which plays a crucial role for realization of both these phenomena. We follow these results by numerical computation of \Delta S Δ S for the non-integrable driven Rydberg atom chain and obtain similar emergent-symmetry-induced symmetry restoration and quantum Mpemba effect in the prethermal regime for such a system. Finally, we provide an exact analytic computation of the entanglement asymmetry for a periodically driven conformal field theory (CFT) on a strip. Such a driven CFT, depending on the drive amplitude and frequency, exhibits two distinct phases, heating and non-heating, that are separated by a critical line. Our results show that for m m cycles of a periodic drive with time period T T , \Delta S \sim \ln mT Δ S ∼ ln m T [ \ln (\ln mT) ln ( ln m T ) ] in the heating phase [on the critical line] for a generic CFT; in contrast, in the non-heating phase, \Delta S Δ S displays small amplitude oscillations around it’s initial value as a function of mT m T . We provide a phase diagram for the behavior of \Delta S Δ S for such driven CFTs as a function of the drive frequency and amplitude.

Resonances in a periodically driven bosonic system

A. Quelle, C. Morais Smith

Periodically driven systems are a common topic in modern physics. In optical lattices specifically, driving is at the origin of many interesting phenomena. However, energy is not conserved in driven systems, and under periodic driving, heating of a system is a real concern. In an effort to better understand this phenomenon, the heating of single-band systems has been studied, with a focus on disorder- and interaction-induced effects, such as many-body localization. Nevertheless, driven systems occur in a much wider context than this, leaving room for further research. Here, we fill this gap by studying a noninteracting model, characterized by discrete, periodically spaced energy levels that are unbounded from above. We couple these energy levels resonantly through a periodic drive, and discuss the heating dynamics of this system as a function of the driving protocol. In this way, we show that a combination of stimulated emission and absorption causes the presence of resonant stable states. This will serve to elucidate the conditions under which resonant driving causes heating in quantum systems.
