Non-equilibrium steady state solutions of time-periodic driven Luttinger liquids — •Serena Fazzini¹, Piotr Chudinski², Chirstoph Dauer¹, Imke Schneider¹, and Sebastian Eggert¹ — ¹Physik und OPTIMAS, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern — ²School of Mathematics and Physics, Queens Univ. Belfast

The recent development of Floquet engineering has made periodic driving a versatile tool for achieving new phases not accessible in static equilibrium systems. We now study the exact Floquet steady states of the periodically driven Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid without resorting to any high frequency approximations. We show that the time-dependent Schrödinger equation can be solved analytically for a large class of driven interacting 1D systems, which give the resulting non-equilibrium steady states. Remarkably, we observe regions of instabilities as a function of total momentum where the solution is not of Floquet form, which implies a loss of time translational invariance and therefore heating of excitations. For small driving amplitudes the instabilities are close to the naively expected resonance condition n ω =2vq, but for stronger driving the heating regions separate a rich structure of bands of steady state solutions. Physical consequences are discussed.
