Decay Rates and Survival Probabilities in Open Quantum Systems

arXiv:nlin/0212022 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.263601

Abstract

We provide the first statistical analysis of the decay rates of strongly driven 3D atomic Rydberg states. The distribution of the rates exhibits universal features due to Anderson localization, while universality of the time dependent decay requires particular initial conditions.
