Caption

On the left, a disordered ensemble of classical magnets in a stable equilibrium configuration. On average, the system appears not to be magnetised. On the right, Floquet engineering has stalled the magnets' reorientation. The quantum magnets maintain their aligned configuration for a long time in spite of the disorder.
