Instabilities of interacting matter waves in optical lattices with Floquet driving

We experimentally investigate the stability of a quantum gas with repulsive interactions in an optical one-dimensional lattice subjected to periodic driving. Excitations of the gas in the lowest lattice band are analyzed across the complete stability diagram, from slow to fast driving frequencies an...
