Quantum Dissipative Chaos
نویسنده
چکیده
Using the decoherence formalism of Gell-Mann and Hartle, a quantum system is found which is the equivalent of the classical dissipative chaotic Duffing oscillator. The similarities and differences from the classical oscillator are examined; in particular, a new concept of quantum maps is introduced, and alterations in the classical strange attractor due to the presence of scale-dependent quantum effects are studied. Classical quantities such as the Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimension are examined, and quantum analogs are suggested. These results are generalized into a framework for quantum dissipative chaos, and there is a a brief discussion of other work in this area.

S-matrix spin and parity decoherence and damping of coherent nuclear rotation: quantum chaos in dissipative heavy-ion collisions?
We extend the statistical reaction with memory approach to study off-diagonal spin and parity S-matrix energy autocorrelation in dissipative heavy-ion collisions. It is suggested that S-matrix spin and parity decoherence results in (i) damping of the coherent nuclear rotation and (ii) is a manifestation of quantum chaos in dissipative heavy-ion collisions.
متن کاملFourier analysis of nonself-averaging quasiperiodic oscillations in the excitation functions of dissipative heavy-ion collisions: quantum chaos in dissipative heavy-ion collisions?
We employ stochastic modelling of statistical reactions with memory to study quasiperiodic oscillations in the excitation functions of dissipative heavy-ion collisions. The Fourier analysis of excitation function oscillations is presented. It suggests that S-matrix spin and parity decoherence, damping of the coherent nuclear rotation and quantum chaos are sufficient conditions to explain the no...
متن کاملAn Example of the Decoherence Approach to Quantum Dissipative Chaos
Quantum chaos—the study of quantized nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems—is an extremely well-developed and sophisticated field. By contrast, very little work has been done in looking at quantum versions of systems which classically exhibit dissipative chaos. Using the decoherence formalism of Gell-Mann and Hartle, I find a quantum mechanical analog of one such system, the forced damped Duffing o...
متن کاملCorrelated oscillations in the excitation functions of deep-inelastic collisions: evidence for nuclear pulsars?
Excitation functions for the strongly dissipative collision 19F (Elab = 135 − 140 MeV)+89Y with an energy step of 250 keV in the lab. system have been measured. The data are consistent with previous measurements and exhibit oscillations, which are interpreted as an indication of quantum chaotic phenomena in dissipative heavy-ion collisions. The Fourier component of the energy autocorrelation of...
متن کاملSynchronization in non dissipative optical lattices
The dynamics of cold atoms in conservative optical lattices obviously depends on the geometry of the lattice. But very similar lattices may lead to deeply different dynamics. In a 2D optical lattice with a square mesh, it is expected that the coupling between the degrees of freedom leads to chaotic motions. However, in somme conditions, chaos remains marginal. The aim of this paper is to unders...
