• Abstract: Periodically driven quantum systems offer remarkable flexibility in tailoring effective Hamiltonians and synthetic band structures. However, such driving also induces heating and dynamical instabilities that limit the coherence and lifetime of many-body states. Here, we demonstrate that these instabilities can be suppressed by employing multi-tone driving schemes. Using a Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms in an optical lattice, we experimentally explore two approaches: pulsed driving composed of odd harmonics and two-tone driving with tunable amplitude and relative phase. We show that both methods allow independent control of the effective tunneling amplitude and Peierls phase factor, while significantly reducing phonon excitation and the resulting rapid decay of the condensate. Numerical simulations and theoretical modeling based on Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations confirm the suppression of unstable modes under optimized driving conditions. Our results establish multifrequency drives as powerful tools for stabilizing driven many-body systems and pave the way toward robust Floquet engineering with interactions.

  Tunable two-qubit couplers offer an avenue to mitigate errors in multiqubit superconducting quantum processors.

We introduce a superconducting coupler that alleviates these limitations by suppressing all two-qubit interactions with an exponentially large on-off ratio.
