Diffusion Resonances in Action Space for an Atom Optics Kicked Rotor with Decoherence
arXiv:quant-ph/0108003 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.65.035201
Abstract
We numerically investigate momentum diffusion rates for the pulse kicked rotor across the quantum to classical transition as the dynamics are made more macroscopic by increasing the total system action. For initial and late time rates we observe an enhanced diffusion peak which shifts and scales with changing kick strength, and we also observe distinctive peaks around quantum resonances. Our investigations take place in the context of a system of ultracold atoms which is coupled to its environment via spontaneous emission decoherence, and the effects should be realisable in ongoing experiments.
