• Abstract: We propose a scheme that generates period-doubled responses via periodically driving certain Hamiltonians hosting quantum many-body scars, akin to recent experimental observations in driven Rydberg atom arrays. Our construction takes advantage of an su(2) spectrum generating algebra associated with the static quantum-scarred Hamiltonian, which enacts a $\pi$-rotation within the scar subspace after one period of time evolution with appropriately chosen driving parameters. This yields period-doubled (subharmonic) responses in local observables for any choice of initial state residing in the scar subspace. The quasienergy spectrum features atypical $\pi$-paired eigenstates embedded in an otherwise fully thermal spectrum.The protocol requires neither a large driving frequency nor a large driving amplitude, and is thus distinct from the prethermalization physics in previous investigations of the driven PXP model. We demonstrate our scheme using several spin-1/2 and spin-1 quantum scarred models possessing an exact su(2) spectrum generating algebra, as well as a symmetry-deformed PXP model, where the su(2) algebra is only approximate. Our results extend the class of models hosting quantum many-body scars that can be leveraged to yield time-crystalline behaviors under periodic driving.

  We devise quantum simulations to investigate the dynamics of the Schwinger model in its low dimensional form. We apply trotterization to write quantum circuits that effectively generate the evolution under the Schwinger model Hamiltonian. Our comparison of sequential and randomized circuit dynamics shows that the non-thermal sector of the Hilbert space, including the scars, are more sensitive to randomization.

  We show how to enhance the precision of measurements beyond the standard quantum limit. To do so, one can reshape the quantum projection noise -- a strategy known as squeezing. We present two independent refinements: first, using a multistep spin-squeezing protocol allows us to further enhance the squeezing by approximately 1 dB, and second, leveraging Floquet engineering to realize Heisenberg interactions.

  We report a study of the effect of periodic driving on the PXP model describing Rydberg atoms. We show that periodic modulation of the chemical potential gives rise to a rich phase diagram. We also point out that driving with a spatially inhomogeneous chemical potential allows to stabilize quantum revivals from arbitrary initial states.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.

  We study the unitary dynamics of randomly or quasi-periodically driven tilted Bose-Hubbard (tBH) model in one dimension deep inside its Mott phase. We show that starting from a regime where the periodic drive leads to rapid thermalization, a random drive, which consists of a random sequence of square pulses with period $T+alpha dT$, restores coherent oscillations for special values of $dT$. A similar phenomenon can be seen for a quasi-periodic drive following a Thue-Morse sequence where such coherent behavior is shown to occur for a larger number of points in the $
