We provide an analytic solution to the problem of driven open quantum systems at the high-frequency limit that goes beyond the weak coupling and Markovian assumptions. It may be applied for the study of driven-dissipative many-body systems, since it solely relies on discrete symmetries of the system-bath Hamiltonian and provides the time evolution operator of the full Hilbert space, including bath degrees of freedom. This allows us to see both the effects of the driving on the coherent part of the dynamics and also on the environment (dissipation).

We propose an interpretation of the solution for the driven open system in terms of the stroboscopic evolution of a continuous family of observables under the influence of an effective static Hamiltonian. The interpretation constitutes a flexible simulation procedure of non-trivial static Hamiltonians. We instantiate the result with the study of the spin-boson model with time-dependent tunneling amplitude and provide observations of simulated polaron dynamics in the strong coupling limit.
