Superfluidity vs. prethermalisation in a nonlinear Floquet system

Description

We show that superfluidity can be used to prevent thermalisation in a nonlinear Floquet system. Generically, periodic driving boils an interacting system to a featureless infinite temperature state. Fast driving is a known strategy to postpone Floquet heating with a large but always finite boiling time. In contrast, using a nonlinear periodically driven system on a lattice, we show the existence of a continuous class of initial states which do not thermalise at all. This absence of thermalisation is associated to the existence and persistence of a stable superflow motion.
