Statistical mechanics for a periodically driven closed quantum system — •Achilleas Lazarides, Arnab Das, and Roderich Moessner — Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems
We study closed quantum systems in the presence of periodic driving, that is, isolated systems not in contact with a bath. We find that the system reaches a periodic steady state which is well-described by an appropriate modification of standard statistical mechanical concepts.
