Experimental and theoretical characterization of a non-equilibrium steady state of a periodically driven qubit


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Periodically driven dynamics of open quantum systems is very interesting because typically non-equilibrium steady state is reached, which is characterized by a non-vanishing current. In this work, we study time discrete and periodically driven dynamics experimentally for a single photon that its coupled to its environment. We develop a comprehensive theory which explains the experimental observations and offers an analytical characterization of the non-equilibrium steady states of the system. We demonstrate that the periodic driving and the properties of the environment can be engineered in such a way that there is asymptotically non-vanishing bidirectional information flow between the open system and the environment.
