Floquet theory

My working notes on periodically driven quantum systems and Floquet dynamics.

Open my notes

Floquet theory gives a natural language for quantum systems driven periodically in time. I keep my working notes on the topic in the linked document above.

What the note covers

  • Periodic Hamiltonians and Floquet states
  • Quasienergies and evolution over one driving period
  • Effective Hamiltonians
  • The basic idea behind Floquet engineering of band structure

The link opens my notes directly rather than the short reference page that originally pointed to them.
