Floquet Bound States in a Driven Two-Particle Bose–Hubbard Model with an Impurity

We investigate how the driving field affects the bound states in the one-dimensional two-particle Bose–Hubbard model with an impurity. In the high-frequency regime, compared with the static lattice Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 (2012) 116405, a new type of Floquet bound state can be obtained even for a weak particle–particle interaction by tuning the driving amplitude. Moreover, the localization degree of the Floquet bound molecular state can be adjusted by tuning the driving frequency, and even the Floquet bound molecular state can be changed into the Floquet extended state when the driving frequency is below a critical value. Our results provide an efficient way to manipulate bound states in the many-body systems.
