The quantum kicked rotator First approach to “Quantum Chaos”: take a system that is classically chaotic and quantize it. Classical kicked rotator One parameter map; can incorporate all others into choice of units Diffusion in the kicked rotator • K = 5.0; strongly chaotic regime. •Take ensemble of 100,000 initial points with zero angular momentum, and pseudo-randomly distributed angles. •Iterate map and take ensemble average at each time step Diffusion in the kicked rotator •System can get “trapped” for very long times in regions of cantori. These are the fractal remnants of invarient tori. •K = 1.0; i.e. last torus has been destroyed (K=0.97..). Diffusion in the kicked rotator Diffusion in the kicked rotator Assume that angles are random variables; i.e. uncorrelated Diffusion in the kicked rotator Central limit theorem Characteristic function for the distribution Central limit theorem Characteristic function of a joint probability distribution is the product of individual distributions (if uncorrelated) And Fourier transform back gives a Gaussian distribution – independent of the nature of the X random variable! Quantum kicked rotator •How do the physical properties of the system change when we quantize? •Two parameters in this Schrodinger equation; Planck’s constant is the additional parameter. The Floquet map The Floquet map The Floquet map F is clearly unitary, as it must be, with the Floquet phases as the diagonal elements. The Floquet map Floquet map for the kicked rotator Rational a: quantum resonance Quadratic growth; has no classical counterpart Continuous spectrum Irrational a: transient diffusion •Only for short time scales can diffusive behavior be seen •Spectrum of Floquet operator is now discrete. …and localization! Quantum chaos in ultra-cold atoms All this can be seen in experiment; interaction of ultra-cold atoms (micro Kelvin) with light field; dynamical localization of atoms is seen for certain field modulations. Rational a: quantum resonance Rational a: quantum resonance Irrational a: transient diffusion Irrational a: transient diffusion Since F is a banded matrix then the U’s will also all be banded, and hence for l, k, k’ larger than some value there is no contribution to sum. System does not “feel” discrete nature of spectrum Rapidly oscillating phase cancels out, only zero phase term survives Tight-binding model of crystal lattice Disorder in the on-site potentials •One dimensional lattice of 300 sites; •Ordered system: zero on-site potential. •Disordered system: pseudo-random on-site potentials in range [-0.5,0.5] with t=1. •Peaks in the spectrum of the ordered system are van Hove singularities; peaks in the spectrum of the disordered system are very different in origin Localisation of electrons by disorder Probability of finding system at a given site (y-axis) plotted versus energy index (x-axis); magnitude of probability indicated by size of dots. On-site order On-site disorder TB Hamiltonian from a quantum map TB Hamiltonian from a quantum map TB Hamiltonian from a quantum map TB Hamiltonian from a quantum map If b is irrational then x distributed uniformly on [0,1] Thus the analogy between Anderson localization in condensed matter and the angular momentum (or energy) localization is quantum chaotic systems is established. Next weeks lecture Some of these topics.. Proof that on-site disorder leads to localisation Husimi functions and (p,q) phase space Examples of quantum chaos: •Quantum chaos in interaction of ultra-cold atoms with light field. •Square lattice in a magnetic field.
