We investigate the temperature dependence of the stationary distribution for the Driven Duffing Oscillator (DDO). We focus on the fragility of the zero temperature solution. This unusual phenomenon means that the probabilities over the two stable vibrational states will endure an abrupt change in the presence of a small temperature. In this work, we first numerically demonstrate the fragility of the zero temperature solution. Realizing that this is due to the violation of the detailed balance condition, we find a condition for the divergency of the small temperature perturbation theory. Then an analytical expression for a critical temperature is obtained. Our results reveal that this fragility is more and more prominent as the number of states in the quasienergy potential wells increases which indicates a semiclassical regime. The fragile regime can be investigated with currently existing experimental setups.
