Flooding of chaotic eigenstates into regular phase space islands.

چکیده
We introduce a criterion for the existence of regular states in systems with a mixed phase space. If this condition is not fulfilled chaotic eigenstates substantially extend into a regular island. Wave packets started in the chaotic sea progressively flood the island. The extent of flooding by eigenstates and wave packets increases logarithmically with the size of the chaotic sea and the time, respectively. This new effect is observed for the example of island chains with just ten islands.

Eigenstates ignoring regular and chaotic phase-space structures.
We report the failure of the semiclassical eigenfunction hypothesis if regular classical transport coexists with chaotic dynamics. All eigenstates, instead of being restricted to either a regular island or the chaotic sea, ignore these classical phase-space structures. We argue that this is true even in the semiclassical limit for extended systems with transporting regular islands such as the s...

We consider dynamical tunneling between two symmetry-related regular islands that are separated in phase space by a chaotic sea. Such tunneling processes are dominantly governed by nonlinear resonances, which induce a coupling mechanism between “regular” quantum states within and “chaotic” states outside the islands. By means of a random matrix ansatz for the chaotic part of the Hamiltonian, on...
متن کاملRegular and chaotic quantum dynamics in the driven square well
The quantum dynamics of the periodically-driven infinite square well is examined. This simple system illustrates some important aspects of quantum chaos. The phase space structure of the quantum eigenstates are shown to mimic the structure of the classical phase space and these eigenstates show a transition from “regular” to “chaotic” as the strength of the driving field is increased. The spaci...
متن کاملDisordered Systems in Phase Space
As a function of the disorder strength in a mesoscopic system, the electron dynamics crosses over from the ballistic through the diffusive towards the localized regime. The ballistic and the localized situation correspond to integrable or regular behavior while diffusive conductors correspond to chaotic behavior. The chaotic or regular character of single wave functions can be inferred from pha...
متن کاملTransport of chaotic trajectories from regions distant from or near to structures of regular motion of the Fermi-Ulam model.
The chaotic portion of phase space of the simplified Fermi-Ulam model is studied under the context of transport of trajectories in two scenarios: (i) the trajectories are originated from a region distant from the islands of regular motion and are transported to a region located at a high portion of phase space and (ii) the trajectories are originated from chaotic regions around the islands of r...
