Exact Floquet solutions of quantum driven systems

Abstract

How to accurately solve time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation is an interesting and important problem. Here, we propose a novel method to obtain the exact Floquet solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation for periodically driven systems by using Floquet theorem and a time-dependent unitary transformation. Using the method, we give out the exact Floquet solutions of wave function for three interesting physical models -- linear potential model, harmonic oscillator model, and the coupled harmonic oscillator model in the presence of a periodic driving. In addition to the quasienergy, we also give out the analytic expression of Berry phase for the harmonic oscillator model. Moreover, the idea presented in this paper can be used in mathematics to solve partial differential equations.
