contents Time-periodic quantum systems exhibit a rich variety of far-from-equilibrium phenomena and serve as ideal platforms for quantum engineering and control. However, simulating their dynamics with conventional numerical methods remains challenging due to the exponential growth of Hilbert space dimension and rapid spreading of entanglement. In this work, we introduce Fourier neural operators (FNOs) as an efficient, accurate, and scalable framework for nonequilibrium quantum dynamics. Parameterized in Fourier space, FNO naturally captures temporal correlations and remains minimally dependent on discretization of time. We demonstrate the versatility of FNO through three complementary learning paradigms: reconstructing effective Floquet Hamiltonians, predicting expectation values of local observables, and learning quantum information spreading. For each learning task, FNO achieves remarkable accuracy, while attaining a significant speedup, compared to exact numerical methods. Moreover, FNO possesses capabilities beyond that of conventional methods, such as predicting all local observables from a subset of measurements without information about the Hamiltonian, as well as extrapolating beyond the time window provided by training data, enabling access to observables and operator-spreading dynamics that might be beyond the coherence time. By employing a spatially local basis, we argue that the computational cost of FNOs scales only polynomially with the system size. Our results establish FNO as a versatile and scalable computation framework that integrates numerical simulations and experimental data seamlessly, with direct implications for extracting meaningful physics from measurements by near-term quantum computers.
