Chaotic diffusion of complex trajectory and its quantum signature
arXiv:1906.01798 · doi:10.1088/1674-1056/abc0dc
Abstract
We investigate both the quantum and classical dynamics of a non-Hermitian system via a kicked rotor model with symmetry. For the quantum dynamics, both the mean momentum and mean square of momentum exhibits the staircase growth with time when the system parameter is in the neighborhood of the symmetry breaking point. If the system parameter is very larger than the symmetry breaking point, the accelerator mode results in the directed spreading of the wavepackets as well as the ballistic diffusion in momentum space. For the classical dynamics, the non-Hermitian kicking potential leads to exponentially-fast increase of classical complex trajectories. As a consequence, the imaginary part of trajectories exponentially diffuses with time, while the real part exhibits the normal diffusion. Our analytical prediction of the exponential diffusion of imaginary momentum and its breakdown time is in good agreement with numerical results. The quantum signature of the chaotic diffusion of the complex trajectories is reflected by the dynamics of the out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC). In the semiclassical regime, the rate the exponential increase of the OTOC is equal with that of the exponential diffusion of complex trajectories.
