We review some recent results surrounding a general mechanism for producing chaotic behavior in periodically kicked oscillators. The key geometric ideas are illustrated via a simple linear shear model.

Periodically kicked hard oscillators.
A model of a hard oscillator with analytic solution is presented. Its behavior under periodic kicking, for which a closed form stroboscopic map can be obtained, is studied. It is shown that the general structure of such an oscillator includes four distinct regions; the outer two regions correspond to very small or very large amplitude of the external force and match the corresponding regions in...
متن کاملFinite kicked environments and the fluctuation-dissipation relation.
In this work we derive a generalized map for a system coupled to a kicked environment composed of a finite number N of uncoupled harmonic oscillators. Dissipation is introduced via the interaction between system and environment which is switched on and off simultaneously (kicks) at regular time intervals. It is shown that kicked environments naturally generate a non-Markovian rotated dynamics, ...
متن کاملControl of crisis - induced intermittency in the dynamics of a kicked , damped spin
A method of controlling the intermittent behavior induced by a crisis is applied to a model of a periodically kicked, damped spin. Using small, occasional changes of a parameter, one can make the system remain on a former attractor, enlarged or destroyed by a crisis. The amplitude of the changes grows linearly with the distance from the crisis point, and the frequency of interventions scales as...
متن کاملEvidence for a quantum-to-classical transition in a pair of coupled quantum rotors.
The understanding of how classical dynamics can emerge in closed quantum systems is a problem of fundamental importance. Remarkably, while classical behavior usually arises from coupling to thermal fluctuations or random spectral noise, it may also be an innate property of certain isolated, periodically driven quantum systems. Here, we experimentally realize the simplest such system, consisting...
متن کاملEntanglement and chaos in the kicked top.
The standard kicked top involves a periodically kicked angular momentum. By considering this angular momentum as a collection of entangled spins, we compute the bipartite entanglement dynamics as a function of the dynamics of the classical counterpart. Our numerical results indicate that the entanglement of the quantum top depends on the specific details of the dynamics of the classical top rat...
