Dynamics of driven interacting many-body systems — •Michael Messer, Frederik Görg, Kilian Sandholzer, Joaquín Minguzzi, Rémi Desbuquois, and Tilman Esslinger — Institute for Quantum Electronics, ETH Zurich, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland

Periodic driving can be used to coherently control the properties of a many-body state and to engineer new phases which are not accessible in static systems. The successful implementation of a periodically driven Fermi-Hubbard model on a 3D hexagonal lattice offers the possibility to explore the intriguing dynamics of Floquet many-body systems. A theoretical analysis of driven many-body Hamiltonians is inherently challenging, however, in combination with our experiments a deeper understanding seems feasible.

By controlling the detuning between shaking frequency and interactions, and setting a variable strength of the periodic drive, we achieve independent control over the single particle tunneling and the magnetic exchange energy. This control allows us to investigate the dynamics and build-up of nearest-neighbor spin-spin correlations. Furthermore, we explore possible mechanisms behind the formation of correlations in interacting Floquet systems. In addition, we can analyze the creation of double occupancies, as one mechanism to form excitations.
