contents Driven-dissipative physics lie at the core of quantum optics. However, the full interplay between a driven quantum many-body system and its environment remains relatively unexplored in the solid state realm. In this work, we inspect this interplay beyond the commonly employed stroboscopic Hamiltonian picture based on the specific example of a driven superconductor. Using the Shirley-Floquet and Keldysh formalisms as well as a generalization of the notion of superconducting fitness to the driven case, we show how a drive which anti-commutes with the superconducting gap operator generically induces an unusual particle-hole structure in the spectral functions from the perspective of the thermal bath. Concomitant with a driving frequency which is near resonant with the intrinsic cutoff frequency of the underlying interaction, this spectral structure can be harnessed to enhance the superconducting transition temperature. Our work paves the way for further studies for driven-dissipative engineering of exotic phases of matter in solid-state systems.
