• Abstract summary: Floquet theory and the Floquet eigenbasis are used to compute the state of periodically driven quantum systems. We redefine the eigenbasis using a revised definition of the average energy as a quantum number. We obtain a Floquet-Ritz variational principle, and justify the truncation of the Hilbert space.

• Abstract: At the moment, the most efficient method to compute the state of a periodically driven quantum system is using Floquet theory and the Floquet eigenbasis. The wide application of this basis set method is limited by: a lack of unique ordering of the Floquet eigenfunctions, an ambiguity in their definition at resonance, and an instability against infinitesimal perturbation at resonance. We address these problems by redefining the eigenbasis using a revised definition of the average energy as a quantum number. As a result of this redefinition, we also obtain a Floquet-Ritz variational principle, and justify the truncation of the Hilbert space.

  We study simultaneous symmetry-breaking in a spontaneous Floquet state, focusing on the specific case of an atomic condensate. We first describe the quantization of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes for a stationary state simultaneously breaking several symmetries of the Hamiltonian. We extend the formalism to Floquet states simultaneously breaking several symmetries, where Goldstone theorem translates into the emergence of Floquet-Nambu-Goldstone modes with zero quasi-energy.

• The missing quantum number of the Floquet states [0.0]
  We observe that the current standard method for calculating the Floquet eigenstates by the quasi-energy alone is incomplete and unstable, and pinpoint an overlooked quantum number, the average energy. This new quantum number resolves many shortcomings of the Floquet method stemming from the quasi-energy degeneracy issues, particularly in the continuum limit. Using the average energy quantum number we get properties similar to those of the static energy, including a unique lower-bounded ordering of the Floquet states, from which we define a ground state, and a variational method for calculating the Floquet states.

• Quantized Floquet topology with temporal noise [0.0]
  We study the Floquet insulator, which exhibits topologically quantized chiral edge states similar to a Chern insulator. We find that the quantized response, given by partially filling the fermionic system and measuring charge pumped per cycle, remains quantized up to finite noise amplitude. This approach suggests an interpretation of the state of the system as a non-Hermitian Floquet topological phase.
