Abstract

We apply the QSD to the quantum version of Duffing oscillator and discuss the QCC and dissipative quantum chaos in this system. We calculate the constant phase map and the pseudo-Lyapunov exponent, varying Planck constant effectively and show there is a certain clear critical stage in which a crossover from classical to quantum behavior occurs. Furthermore, we discuss the effect of dissipation in the dissipative quantum chaos by means of a degrees of localization introduced in the QSD formalism[5]. Unfortunately, the pseudo-Lyapunov exponent is not a quantity characterized a dissipative system. Therefore, it will be necessary to discuss the connection between the classical trajectory (strange attractor) and the quantum observable which characterize a dissipative quantum system.

Crossover from Classical to Quantum Behavior in Duffing Oscillator through “Pseudo-Lyapunov Exponent”

Yukihiro Ota, Ichiro Ohba

We discuss the quantum–classical correspondence in a specific dissipative chaotic system, Duffing oscillator. We quantize it on the basis of quantum state diffusion (QSD) that is a certain formulation for quantum open systems and a useful tool for analyzing nonlinear problems and their classical limit. We define a “pseudo-Lyapunov exponent” and investigate the behavior of this quantity varying Planck constant effectively. We show that in a dissipative system there exists some critical stage in which the crossover from classical to quantum behavior occurs. Furthermore, we show that the role of dissipation changes for quantized Duffing oscillator since the effect of dissipation is important for the occurrence of chaos in classical mechanics but suppresses it in quantum region.

Crossover from classical to quantum behavior of the Duffing oscillator through a pseudo-Lyapunov-exponent

Yukihiro Ota, Ichiro Ohba

We discuss the quantum-classical correspondence (QCC) in a specific dissipative chaotic system, the Duffing oscillator. The quantum version of the Duffing oscillator is treated as an open quantum system and analyzed numerically by the use of quantum state diffusion (QSD). We consider a pseudo-Lyapunov exponent and investigate it in detail, varying the Planck constant effectively. We show that there exists a critical stage in which the crossover from classical to quantum behavior occurs. Furthermore, we find that a dissipation effect suppresses the occurrence of chaos in the quantum region, while it, combined with the periodic external force, plays a crucial role in the chaotic behavior of the classical system.

Quantum Dissipative Chaos

Todd A. Brun

Using the decoherence formalism of Gell-Mann and Hartle, a quantum system is found which is the equivalent of the classical chaotic Duffing oscillator. The similarities and the differences from the classical oscillator are examined; in particular, a new concept of quantum maps is introduced, and alterations in the classical strange attractor due to the presence of scale- dependent quantum effects are studied. Classical quantities such as the Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimension are examined, and quantum analogs are suggested. These results are generalized into a framework for quantum dissipative chaos, and there is a brief discussion of other work in this area.

Quantum effects in the long time behavior of the dissipative standard map

Thomas Dittrich, R. Graham

A dissipative quantum system exhibiting chaos in its classical limit is constructed by coupling the quantum kicked rotator to a reservoir with exchange of action. A version of the quantized standard map that incorporates dissipation is derived from this model and iterated numerically to study the long-time behavior in various regions of the damping rate. It is found that even weak damping is capable of disrupting dynamical localization which suppresses chaotic motion in the conservative standard map, and thus restores diffusion in the action variable. On the time scale of classical relaxation, a steady state is reached which is the quantum analogue of a classical strange attractor. For strong dissipation, observable deviations from classical behavior both in the transients and in the steady state are due to quantum noise. They are reproduced by a classical stochastic map which is approached by the dissipative quantum map as its semi-classical limit.

Quantum signatures of strange attractors

Bence Dárdai, Vattay Gábor

In classical mechanics, driven systems with dissipation often exhibit complex, fractal dynamics known as strange attractors. This paper addresses the fundamental question of how such structures manifest in the quantum realm. We investigate the quantum Duffing oscillator, a paradigmatic chaotic system, using the Caldirola-Kanai framework, where dissipation is integrated directly into a time-dependent Hamiltonian. By employing the Husimi distribution to represent the quantum state in phase space, we present the first visualization of a quantum strange attractor within this model. Our simulations demonstrate how an initially simple Gaussian wave packet is stretched, folded, and sculpted by the interplay of chaotic dynamics and energy loss, causing it to localize onto a structure that beautifully mirrors the classical attractor. This quantum "photograph" is inherently smoothed, blurring the infinitely fine fractal details of its classical counterpart as a direct consequence of the uncertainty principle. We supplement this analysis by examining the out-of-time-ordered correlator, which shows that stronger dissipation clarifies the exponential growth associated with the classical Lyapunov exponent, thereby confirming the model's semiclassical behavior. This work offers a compelling geometric perspective on open chaotic quantum systems and sheds new light on the quantum-classical transition.

An Example of the Decoherence Approach to Quantum Dissipative Chaos

Todd A. Brun

Quantum chaos---the study of quantized nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems---is an extremely well-developed and sophisticated field. By contrast, very little work has been done in looking at quantum versions of systems which classically exhibit {\\it dissipative} chaos. Using the decoherence formalism of Gell-Mann and Hartle, I find a quantum mechanical analog of one such system, the forced damped Duffing oscillator. I demonstrate the classical limit of the system, and discuss its decoherent histories. I show that using decoherent histories, one can define not only the quantum map of an entire density operator, but can find an analog to the Poincar\\'e map of the individual trajectory. Finally, I argue the usefulness of this model as an example of quantum dissipative chaos, as well as of a practical application of the decoherence formalism to an interesting problem.
