Routes to Violation of ETH in Periodically Driven Quantum Systems by Krishnendu Sengupta

Explore routes to violation of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) in periodically driven quantum systems in this 46-minute lecture by Krishnendu Sengupta from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex interplay between closed quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Gain insights into topics such as terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices and cold atoms, Floquet time crystals, localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems, and dynamics of gauge theories. Learn how these concepts contribute to understanding the violation of ETH in periodically driven quantum systems and their implications for quantum simulation experiments.
