Description
Floquet theory is a general method that allows one to treat linear systems of differential equations with periodic generators. It decomposes the propagator associated with the dynamical evolution into two parts: one associated with the micromotion within a period, and another corresponding to the effective stroboscopic propagation after each period. This framework is widely used in closed quantum systems, where the unitarity of time evolution ensures that the effective stroboscopic part is always generated by an effective Hamiltonian. This property has given rise to a new branch of quantum physics: Floquet engineering. However, when the theory is applied to Lindbladian open quantum systems, specific particularities arise. This talk will address these issues.
