Exponentially slow heating in short and long-range interacting Floquet systems

We analyze the dynamics of periodically driven (Floquet) Hamiltonians with short and long-range interactions, finding clear evidence for a thermalization time, τ^{*}, that increases exponentially with the drive frequency. Using a combination of heating and entanglement dynamics, we explicitly extrac...
