We study the survival of the current induced initially by applying a twist at the boundary of a chain of hard-core bosons (HCBs), subject to a periodic double $delta$-function kicks in the staggered on-site potential. We study the current flow and the work-done on the system at the long-time limit as a function of the driving frequency. Like a recent observation in the HCB chain with single $delta$-function kick in the staggered on-site potential, here we also observe many dips in the current flow and concurrently many peaks in the work-done on the system at some specific values of the driving frequency. However, unlike the single kicked case, here we do not observe a complete disappearance of the current in the limit of a high driving frequency, which shows the absence of any dynamical localization in the double $delta$-functions kicked HCB chain. Our analytical estimations of the saturated current and the saturated work-done, defined at the limit of a large time together with a high driving frequency, match very well with the exact numerics. In the case of the very small initial current, induced by a very small twist $ u$, we observe that the saturated current is proportional to $ u$. Finally, we study the time-evolution of the half-filled HCB chain where the particles are localized in the central part of the chain. We observe that the particles spread linearly in a light-cone like region at the rate determined by the maximum value of the group velocity. Except for a very trivial case, the maximum group velocity never vanishes, and therefore we do not observe any dynamical localization in the system.

We study the survival of super-currents in a system of impenetrable bosons subject to a quantum quench from its critical superfluid phase to an insulating phase. We show that the evolution of the current when the quench follows a Rosen-Zener profile is exactly solvable. This allows us to analyze a quench of arbitrary rate, from a sudden destruction of the superfluid to a slow opening of a gap. The decay and oscillations of the current are analytically derived, and studied numerically along with the momentum distribution after the quench. In the case of small supercurrent boosts $ u$, we find that the current surviving at long times is proportional to $ u^3$.
We study an integrable system that is reducible to free fermions by a Jordan-Wigner transformation which is subjected to a Fibonacci driving protocol based on two non-commuting Hamiltonians. In the high frequency limit $omega to infty$, we show that the system reaches a non-equilibrium steady state, up to some small fluctuations which can be quantified. For each momentum $k$, the trajectory of the stroboscopically observed state lies between two concentric circles on the Bloch sphere; the circles represent the boundaries of the small fluctuations. The residual energy is found to oscillate in a quasiperiodic way between two values which correspond to the two Hamiltonians that define the Fibonacci protocol. These results can be understood in terms of an effective Hamiltonian which simulates the dynamics of the system in the high frequency limit.
We investigate an open XXZ spin 1/2 chain driven out of equilibrium by coupling with boundary reservoirs targeting different spin orientations in XY plane. Symmetries of the model are revealed which appear to be different for spin chains of odd and even sizes. As a result, spin current is found to alternate with chain length, ruling out the possibility of ballistic transport. Heat transport is switched off completely by virtue of another global symmetry. Further, we investigate the model numerically and analytically. At strong coupling, we find exact nonequilibrium steady state using a perturbation theory. The state is determined by solving secular conditions which guarantee self-consistency of the perturbative expansion. We find nontrivial dependence of the magnetization current on the spin chain anisotropy $Delta$ in the critical region $|Delta|<1$, and a phenomenon of tripling of the twisting angle along the chain for narrow lacunes of $Delta$.
Motivated to understand the asymptotic behavior of periodically driven thermodynamic systems, we study the prototypical example of Brownian particle, overdamped and underdamped, in harmonic potentials subjected to periodic driving. The harmonic strength and the coefficients of drift and diffusion are all taken to be $T$-periodic. We obtain the asymptotic distributions almost exactly treating driving nonperturbatively. In the underdamped case, we exploit the underlying $SL_2$ symmetry to obtain the asymptotic state, and study the dynamics and fluctuations of energies and entropy. We further obtain the two-time correlation functions, and investigate the responses to drift and diffusion perturbations in the presence of driving.
We experimentally investigate the effects of parametric instabilities on the short-time heating process of periodically-driven bosons in 2D optical lattices with a continuous transverse (tube) degree of freedom. We analyze three types of periodic drives: (i) linear along the x-lattice direction only, (ii) linear along the lattice diagonal, and (iii) circular in the lattice plane. In all cases, we demonstrate that the BEC decay is dominated by the emergence of unstable Bogoliubov modes, rather than scattering in higher Floquet bands, in agreement with recent theoretical predictions. The observed BEC depletion rates are much higher when shaking both along x and y directions, as opposed to only x or only y. This is understood as originating from the interaction-induced non-separability along the two lattice directions. We also report an explosion of the heating rates at large drive amplitudes, and suggest a phenomenological description beyond Bogoliubov theory. In this strongly-coupled regime, circular drives heat faster than diagonal drives, which illustrates the non-trivial dependence of the heating on the choice of drive.
