• Abstract: We study the emergence and stability of a prethermal phase in an integrable many-body system subjected to a Fibonacci drive. Despite not being periodic, Fibonacci drives have been shown to introduce dynamical constraints due to their self-similar structure, unlike random driving protocols. From perturbative analysis, this has been argued to result in an exponentially long prethermal phase in the high frequency limit of driving. Examining higher order terms in the perturbative expansion, we show that the perturbative description breaks down eventually in such systems at a finite universal order, which depends solely on features of the Fibonacci sequence. This leads to an onset of energy absorption at long time scales for intermediate and low driving frequencies. Interestingly, in spite of the breakdown of an effective Hamiltonian in the perturbative analysis, we still observe slow logarithmic heating time-scales, unlike purely random drives.

  We investigate the dynamics of a quasiperiodically driven Rydberg atom chain in the strong Rydberg blockage regime. Even without driving, the PXP model exhibits many-body scarring and resultant persistent oscillations. Our results demonstrate that continuous quasi-periodic drive protocols can provide a promising route to realize prethermal phases of matter.

In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

• Periodically and quasiperiodically driven-anisotropic Dicke model [0.0]
  We analyze the anisotropic Dicke model in the presence of a periodic drive and under a quasiperiodic drive. We show that under a quasiperiodic Fibonacci (Thue-Morse) drive, the system features a prethermal plateau that increases as an exponential with the driving frequency before heating to an infinite-temperature state. Surprisingly, this value does not always approach the infinite-temperature state monotonically as the frequency of the periodic drive decreases.

  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 analyze a new class of time-periodic nonreciprocal dynamics in interacting chaotic classical spin systems. We find that the magnetization dynamics features a long-lived metastable plateau, whose duration is controlled by the fourth power of the drive frequency. We extend the notion of prethermal dynamics, observed in the high-frequency limit of periodically-driven systems, to nonreciprocal systems.

  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.
