چکیده

We study the dynamics of a quantum rotator, impulsively kicked according to the almost-periodic Fibonacci sequence. A special numerical technique allows us to carry on this investigation for as many as 10(12) kicks. It is shown that above a critical kick strength, the excitation of the system is well described by regular diffusion, while below this border it becomes anomalous and subdiffusive. A law for the dependence of the exponent of anomalous subdiffusion on the kick strength is established numerically. The analogy between these results and quantum diffusion in models of quasicrystals and in the kicked Harper system is discussed.

Experimental Study of Quantum Dynamics in a Regime of Classical Anomalous Diffusion

We measure the momentum of cold cesium atoms in a periodically pulsed standing wave of light. This system is an experimental realization of the quantum kicked rotor. The momentum diffusion in the (chaotic) classical analog of this system is typically suppressed by quantum localization. We find, however, that for certain pulse amplitudes where the classical system exhibits anomalous diffusion, o...

Sub-ballistic behavior in the quantum kicked rotor

We study the resonances of the quantum kicked rotor subjected to an excitation that follows an aperiodic Fibonacci prescription. In such a case the secondary resonances show a sub-ballistic behavior like the quantum walk with the same aperiodic prescription for the coin. The principal resonances maintain the well-known ballistic behavior.

The dynamics of a “kicked” quantum system undergoing repeated measurements of momentum is investigated. A diffusive behavior is obtained even when the dynamics of the classical counterpart is not chaotic. The diffusion coefficient is explicitly computed for a large class of Hamiltonians and compared to the classical case. PACS numbers: 05.45.Mt; 05.45.-a; 05.40.-a; 03.65.Bz Typeset using REVTEX...
