Non-equilibrium Many-body Physics Beyond the Floquet Paradigm

International Workshop
24 - 28 June 2024

Understanding the complex behavior of non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems is a prominent challenge in modern physics. A paradigmatic approach to exploring non-equilibrium dynamics is through periodic (Floquet) drives. In the past decades, extensive research has delved into this field, uncovering intriguing Floquet phases of matter with unique spatio-temporal order or topological properties. Recent advancements have expanded the study beyond the Floquet paradigm, investigating quasi-periodic and structured-random driving protocols, as well as the interplay between Floquet driving and dissipation. This workshop aims to bring together researchers in this vibrant field to discuss foundational concepts and share the latest ideas. Specifically, it will focus on identifying universal classification of non-thermal pathways in driven systems and expanding the zoo of non-equilibrium phases of matter beyond Floquet phases.
