The approximate periodicity conjecture for long-time Floquet properties

About 3 years old · traced to

Let H(t)H(t) be a time-dependent Hamiltonian with period 11, let U(0,t)U(0,t) be its time-evolution operator, and let ∣ψ(t)⟩=U(0,t)∣ψ(0)⟩|\psi(t)\rangle=U(0,t)|\psi(0)\rangle be the state evolved from an initial state ∣ψ(0)⟩|\psi(0)\rangle. Long-time properties of ∣ψ(t)⟩|\psi(t)\rangle are periodic with period 11. This conjecture concerns the proposed emergence of period-one behavior at long times despite the generally nonperiodic trajectory in Hilbert space. It does not hold for all Floquet systems.
