The main motivation of this article is to derive sufficient conditions for dynamical stability of periodically driven quantum systems described by a Hamiltonian H(t), i.e., conditions under which it holds sup_{t in R} | (psi(t),H(t) psi(t)) |<infty where psi(t) denotes a trajectory at time t of the quantum system under consideration. We start from an analysis of the domain of the quasi-energy operator. Next we show, under certain assumptions, that if the spectrum of the monodromy operator U(T,0) is pure point then there exists a dense subspace of initial conditions for which the mean value of energy is uniformly bounded in the course of time. Further we show that if the propagator admits a differentiable Floquet decomposition then || H(t) psi(t) || is bounded in time for any initial condition psi(0), and one employs the quantum KAM algorithm to prove the existence of this type of decomposition for a fairly large class of H(t). In addition, we derive bounds uniform in time on transition probabilities between different energy levels, and we also propose an extension of this approach to the case of a higher order of differentiability of the Floquet decomposition. The procedure is demonstrated on a solvable example of the periodically time-dependent harmonic oscillator.

We establish absolute continuity of the spectrum of a periodic Schrodiner operator in R^n with periodic perforations. We also prove analytic dependece of the dispersion relation on the shape of the perforation.
We construct concrete examples of time operators for both continuous and discrete-time homogeneous quantum walks, and we determine their deficiency indices and spectra. For a discrete-time quantum walk, the time operator can be self-adjoint if the time evolution operator has a non-zero winding number. In this case, its spectrum becomes a discrete set of real numbers.
We consider quantum Hamiltonians of the form H(t)=H+V(t) where the spectrum of H is semibounded and discrete, and the eigenvalues behave as E_n~n^alpha, with 0<alpha<1. In particular, the gaps between successive eigenvalues decay as n^{alpha-1}. V(t) is supposed to be periodic, bounded, continuously differentiable in the strong sense and such that the matrix entries with respect to the spectral decomposition of H obey the estimate |V(t)_{m,n}|<=epsilon*|m-n|^{-p}max{m,n}^{-2gamma} for m!=n where epsilon>0, p>=1 and gamma=(1-alpha)/2. We show that the energy diffusion exponent can be arbitrarily small provided p is sufficiently large and epsilon is small enough. More precisely, for any initial condition Psiin Dom(H^{1/2}), the diffusion of energy is bounded from above as <H>_Psi(t)=O(t^sigma) where sigma=alpha/(2ceil{p-1}gamma-1/2). As an application we consider the Hamiltonian H(t)=|p|^alpha+epsilon*v(theta,t) on L^2(S^1,dtheta) which was discussed earlier in the literature by Howland.
We prove an analogue of the magnetic nodal theorem on quantum graphs: the number of zeros $phi$ of the $n$-th eigenfunction of the Schrodinger operator on a quantum graph is related to the stability of the $n$-th eigenvalue of the perturbation of the operator by magnetic potential. More precisely, we consider the $n$-th eigenvalue as a function of the magnetic perturbation and show that its Morse index at zero magnetic field is equal to $phi - (n-1)$.
Quantum Markovian systems, modeled as unitary dilations in the quantum stochastic calculus of Hudson and Parthasarathy, have become standard in current quantum technological applications. This paper investigates the stability theory of such systems. Lyapunov-type conditions in the Heisenberg picture are derived in order to stabilize the evolution of system operators as well as the underlying dynamics of the quantum states. In particular, using the quantum Markov semigroup associated with this quantum stochastic differential equation, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of a unique and faithful invariant quantum state. Furthermore, this paper proves the quantum invariance principle, which extends the LaSalle invariance principle to quantum systems in the Heisenberg picture. These results are formulated in terms of algebraic constraints suitable for engineering quantum systems that are used in coherent feedback networks.
