Time-periodically driven quantum systems that are coupled to a thermal bath possess a stationary state that generically does not obey detailed balance. We consider ideal gases of many non-interacting bosonic or fermionic particles and show that, as a consequence, their stationary state is generally not described by a Gaussian density operator. Accordingly, also Wick's theorem does not hold. This contrasts the behavior of non-driven systems. However, studying rather generic time-periodically forced model systems with regular and chaotic states, we find that a Gaussian ensemble can still be a very good approximation to the stationary state. Hence, Wick's decomposition of n-particle correlation functions is possible in an approximative sense.
