• Abstract: We demonstrate the existence of exact Floquet flat bands implying strong violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in a large class of closed quantum many-body systems in the presence of a two-rate drive characterized by frequencies $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2=\nu \Omega_1$. We provide the exact analytic condition for this phenomenon to occur for a generic protocol; in particular, $\nu=(2p+1)$, where $p$ is an integer, leads to such flat bands for both square-pulse and cosine drive protocols for arbitrary $\Omega_1$. In the vicinity of these points, heating is suppressed up to very long timescales in such driven systems, leading to a prethermal regime; we demonstrate this by exact numerical studies of distribution and bandwidth of the Floquet eigenstates, spectral form factor, entanglement entropy, and correlation functions of an experimentally realizable finite driven Rydberg chain. The corresponding micromotion exhibits coherent reversal of excitations reminiscent of echoes. Our analysis constitutes a yet unexplored mechanism for heating suppression in driven closed quantum systems.

We also identify a new Floquet thermal ensemble -- the ladder ensemble -- that is qualitatively distinct from the featureless infinite-temperature state. Our work extends and organizes the theory of Floquet thermalization, heating, and equilibrium into the setting of mesoscopic quantum systems.

  We study the stroboscopic dynamics of a driven finite Rydberg chain with staggered ($Delta$) and time-dependent uniform ($lambda(t)$) detuning terms using exact diagonalization (ED) We show that at intermediate drive ($omega_D$), the presence of a finite $Delta$ results in violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) via clustering of Floquet eigenstates. The violation of ETH in these driven finite-sized chains is also evident from the dynamical freezing displayed by the density density correlation function at specific $omega_D

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
