Driving a quantum system periodically in time can profoundly alter its long-time dynamics and trigger exotic quantum states of matter. We propose a new DMRG method which directly deals with the Fourier components of the eigenstates of a periodically driven system using Floquet theory. With this new method we can go beyond effective Hamiltonians and take into account higher Floquet modes. Numerical results are presented for the isotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain under both local (edge) and global driving for energies, spin-spin correlation and temporal fluctuations. As the frequency is lowered, the spin system enters into a Floquet regime with coherent excitations of a large number of Floquet modes, which shows characteristic quantum correlations that cannot be described by any effective static model.
