• Title: Sharp detection of the onset of Floquet heating using eigenstate sensitivity
• Authors: Sourav Bhattacharjee, Souvik Bandyopadhyay, Anatoli Polkovnikov,
• Abstract summary: Chaotic Floquet systems at sufficiently low driving frequencies are known to heat up to an infinite temperature ensemble in the thermodynamic limit. We propose sensitivity (susceptibility) of Floquet eigenstates against infinitesimal deformations of the drive. We find that at low frequencies near the onset of heating, Floquet eigenstates are maximally sensitive to perturbations.

• Abstract: Chaotic Floquet systems at sufficiently low driving frequencies are known to heat up to an infinite temperature ensemble in the thermodynamic limit. However at high driving frequencies, Floquet systems remain energetically stable in a robust prethermal phase with exponentially long heating times. We propose sensitivity (susceptibility) of Floquet eigenstates against infinitesimal deformations of the drive, as a sharp and sensitive measure to detect this heating transition. It also captures various regimes (timescales) of Floquet thermalization accurately. Particularly, we find that at low frequencies near the onset of unbounded heating, Floquet eigenstates are maximally sensitive to perturbations and consequently the scaled susceptibility develops a sharp maximum. We further connect our results to the relaxation dynamics of local observables to show that near the onset of Floquet heating, the system is nonergodic with slow glassy dynamics despite being nonintegrable at all driving frequencies.

  We study the phenomenology of dynamical freezing, whereby a translationally invariant many-body system exhibits emergent conservation laws. We employ Floquet flow-renormalization, where the time-dependent part of the Hamiltonian is gradually decoupled from the effective Hamiltonian. We observe that at freezing the thermalization timescales are delayed compared to away from freezing, and the flow trajectory undergoes a series of instanton events.

  Floquet (periodic) driving has emerged as a powerful technique for engineering quantum systems. We report the observation of Floquet prethermalization in a strongly interacting dipolar spin ensemble in diamond. In contrast to a single-frequency drive, we find that the existence of prethermalization is extremely sensitive to the smoothness of the applied field.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.
