Quasi-Periodically Driven Quantum Systems
Floquet theory provides rigorous foundations for the theory of periodically driven quantum systems. In the case of non-periodic driving, however, the situation is not so well understood. Here, we provide a critical review of the theoretical framework developed for quasi-periodically driven quantum systems. Although the theoretical footing is still under development, we argue that quasiperiodica...
متن کاملEffective Hamiltonians for Constrained Quantum Systems
We consider the time-dependent Schrödinger equation on a Riemannian manifold A with a potential that localizes a certain class of states close to a fixed submanifold C. When we scale the potential in the directions normal to C by a parameter ε 1, the solutions concentrate in an ε-neighborhood of C. This situation occurs for example in quantum wave guides and for the motion of nuclei in electron...
متن کاملTopological characterization of periodically driven quantum systems
Topological properties of physical systems can lead to robust behaviors that are insensitive to microscopic details. Such topologically robust phenomena are not limited to static systems but can also appear in driven quantum systems. In this paper, we show that the Floquet operators of periodically driven systems can be divided into topologically distinct homotopy classes and give a simple phys...
متن کاملQuantum Recurrences in Periodically Driven Systems
The phenomena of recurrence or revival is a beautiful combination of classical mechanics, wave mechanics, and quantum laws. A wave packet evolves over a short period of time in a potential, initially following classical mechanics. It spreads while moving along its classical trajectory, however rebuilds itself after a classical period. It follows wave mechanics in its long time evolution and gra...
متن کاملChaos and Localisation: Quantum Transport in Periodically Driven Atomic Systems
This thesis investigates quantum transport in the energy space of two paradigm systems of quantum chaos theory. These are highly excited hydrogen atoms subject to a microwave field, and kicked atoms which mimic the δ−kicked rotor model. Both of these systems show a complex dynamical evolution arising from the interaction with an external time-periodic driving force. In particular two quantum ph...
