Mai 2010AbstractThe asymptotic state of a quantum system, which is in contact with a heat bath, isstrongly disturbed by a time-periodic driving in comparison to a time-independent system.In this thesis an extensive picture of the asymptotic state of time-periodic quantum sys-tems is drawn by relating it to the structure of the corresponding classical phase space.To this end the occupation probabilities of the Floquet states are analyzed with respect totheir semiclassical property of being either regular or chaotic. The regular Floquet statesreg−β E −βEeﬀare occupied with exponential weights e similar to the canonical weights e ofregtime-independent systems. The regular energies E are deﬁned by the quantization of thetime-periodic system, whose classical properties also determine the eﬀective temperature1/β . Incontrast, the chaotic Floquet states acquire almost equal probabilities, irrespectiveeﬀoftheir time-averaged energy.
