Floquet quantum criticality

Abstract: We study transitions between distinct phases of one-dimensional periodically driven (Floquet) systems. We argue that these are generically controlled by infinite-randomness fixed points of a strong-disorder renormalization group procedure. Working in the fermionic representation of the prototypical Floquet Ising chain, we leverage infinite randomness physics to provide a simple description of Floquet (multi)criticality in terms of a distinct type of domain wall associated with time translational symmetry-break… Show more

“…45 are analyzed in [198] and can be considered as a direct generalization of the Fisher RG rules. More generally, the phase-transitions between different Floquet-Localized-phases are expected to be controlled by Infinite-Disorder-Fixed-Points that can be sudied via SDRG [199,200].…”

“…However, frameworks for full characterisation of generic many-body quantum systems via all the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian governing the system continue to elude us. This issue has recently gained prominence, as it has been realised that the notion of quantum criticality is not just limited to ground states, but extends to arbitrary excited eigenstates with finite energy densities [5][6][7][8] and even to out-of-equilibrium systems [9][10][11][12][13][14]. At the heart of much of this lies the physics of many-body localisation, where eigenstates at arbitrary energy densities of disordered interacting quantum systems undergo a localisation transition at a critical value of the disorder strength which may depend on the energy density [5,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] (see Refs.…”
