Abstract

Summary form only given. Although schemes have been proposed, there has been no experimental realization of continuous measurement in atom optics. We study the effect of phase noise on laser-cooled atoms undergoing dynamic localization. Depending on the type of noise the master equation also describes a continuous measurement of momentum or position. Hence it is possible to test the effect of measurement in quantum chaos by tailoring the noise source.

Quantum chaos in atom optics: using phase noise to model continuous momentum and position measurement

Sigurd Dyrting, Gerard J Milburn

We study the effect of noise on the quantum nonlinear motion of a two-level atom in a laser standing wave. This system has recently been shown to exhibit dynamic localization in the atomic momentum. Noise is introduced through the phase of the standing wave, and has one of two forms: Weiner noise or Ornstein - Uhlenbeck noise. Using the theory of stochastic Hamiltonians we derive a master equation to describe the quantum mechanical evolution of the momentum statistics. We show that the Weiner noise process is then equivalent to a continuous measurement of the momentum of the atom, and the Ornstein - Uhlenbeck process describes a measurement of the position of the atom up to the period of the optical potential. We study the effect of noise when the classical dynamics shows global chaos.

Observation of Dynamical Localization in Atomic Momentum Transfer: A New Testing Ground for Quantum Chaos

F. L. Moore, J. C. Robinson, C. F. Bharucha +2 more

We report a direct observation of dynamical localization. This effect is a quantum suppression of diffusion in a system that is classically chaotic. Our experiment measures the momentum transferred from a modulated standing wave of a near-resonant laser to a sample of ultracold atoms and is a realization of a periodically driven rotor. The conceptual simplicity and experimental control over the time dependent Hamiltonian make this system an ideal testing ground for the predictions of quantum chaos.

Continuous measurement and the classical limit of the motion of an atom in a magneto-optical double-well potential

Shohini Ghose, Paul M. Alsing, Ivan Deutsch +3 more

Summary form only given. The recovery of the classical limit in quantum systems that have underlying chaotic dynamics is a key question in current studies of the quantum to classical transition. Interaction with an environment results in decoherence that can cause the quantum Wigner function to approach the corresponding classical phase space distribution by suppressing quantum interference effects, but it fails to extract localized classical trajectories from the quantum dynamics. Such trajectories are crucial for quantifying chaos both theoretically and in experiments through the measure of the Lyapunov exponents. One can recover trajectories from the quantum dynamics through the process of continuous measurements when the record is retained. Ehrenfest s theorem guarantees that quantum systems that are well localized by the measurement effectively obey classical mechanics. We have studied the role of continuous measurement in recovering the classical chaotic dynamics of laser cooled atoms in a magneto-optical lattice of double wells.

Probing mixed phase space dynamics using atom optics

D. Steck, Windell H. Oskay, Mark G. Raizen

Summary form only given. Atom optics has proven to be a fruitful testbed for the experimental study of quantum dynamics in classically chaotic systems. However, the quantum behavior in a mixed classical phase space, where both stable and chaotic regions are present, remains an interesting and challenging subject, with much left to understand. To probe local dynamics in mixed phase space, the atomic sample must be prepared such that it is localized in phase space. To accomplish this, cesium atoms are first prepared in a standard magneto-optic trap. They are then further cooled in a 3-D far-detuned optical lattice. A model system for the study of mixed phase space is realized when the atoms are subjected to an amplitude-modulated standing wave, where the intensity varies as sin/sup 2/ (/spl pi/t/T) (T is the pulse duration). There are three primary resonances in this system; one is at zero momentum, and the other two are located symmetrically about p = 0. As the intensity of the standing wave increases, the resonances overlap, and the resonances appear as islands of stability surrounded by bands of chaos. We have used our method of state preparation to center the atomic distribution at various positions and at the same momentum as one of the "side" resonances. We observe trapping of the atoms in the resonance when the atomic distribution is centered on the island, but not when the atoms are centered away from the resonance, since they instead diffuse through the chaotic region.

Quantum chaos in atom optics

M. B. d’Arcy

This thesis presents an account of experimental and numerical investigations of two quantum systems whose respective classical analogues are chaotic. These are the delta-kicked rotor, a paradigm in classical chaos theory, and the novel delta-kicked accelerator, created by application of a constant external acceleration or torque to the rotor. The experimental realisation of these systems has been achieved by the exposure of laser-cooled caesium atoms to approximate delta-kicks from a pulsed, high-intensity, vertical standing wave of laser light. Gravity’s effect on the atoms can be controlled by appropriate shifting of the profile of the standing wave. Numerical simulations of the systems are based on a diffractive model of the potential’s effect. Each system’s dynamics are characterised by the final form of the momentum distribution and the dependence of the atoms’ mean kinetic energy on the number and time period of the delta-kicks. The phenomena of dynamical localisation and quantum resonances in the delta-kicked rotor, which have no counterparts in the system’s classical analogue, are observed and investigated. Similar experiments on the delta-kicked accelerator reveal the striking phenomenon of the quantum accelerator mode, in which a large momentum is transferred to a substantial fraction of the atomic ensemble. This feature, absent in the system’s classical analogue, is characterised and an analytic explanation is presented. The effect on each quantum system of decoherence, introduced through spontaneous emission in the atoms, is examined and comparison is made with the results of classical simulations. While having little effect on the classical systems, the level of decoherence used is found to degrade quantum signatures of behaviour. Classical-like behaviour is, to some extent, restored, although significant quantum features remain. Possible applications of the quantum accelerator mode are discussed. These include use as a tool in atom optics and interferometry, a technique for measuring gravity, and a method of preparing atoms in a particular region of phase space. This may allow measurement of quantum phase space stability, and hence investigation of quantum chaos and quantum-classical correspondence.

The emergence of chaos in continuously monitored open quantum systems

Jessica K. Eastman

This thesis makes a unique contribution to the field of quantum chaos by theoretically demonstrating the effect that measurement has on the emergence of chaos from the quantum world and demonstrating a means to control the onset of chaos in the quantum system using adaptive measurements. Here we investigate how the choice of the continuous measurement strategy for an open quantum system affects the emergence of chaos in the transition from the quantum limit to the classical limit when the system is dissipative. We consider two models in our research. The Duffing oscillator is classically chaotic and also dissipative( ie. an open quantum system), whereas the driven top is classically a closed system; adding dissipation via continuous measurement therefore changes the behaviour in from the classical limit. The first half of this thesis presents the investigation of a dissipative system whose classical limit is chaotic. We explore the emergence of chaos from the open quantum system that is continuously monitored and investigate the dependence on the choice of monitoring by changing a single parameter in a homodyne measurement scheme, effectively changing the information gained by the measurement. We show that the emergence of chaos in the regime where quantum effects are still present can be determined solely by changing the measurement parameter. This is a result of the interplay between the quantum interference effects induced by the nonlinear dynamics and the localisation and decoherence that occurs due to the measurement. We also investigate the case where the classical limit is regular for the Duffing oscillator, and demonstrate the semiclassical effect of chaos induced by the measurement back-action. A certain choice of measurement leads to a noise which drives the system to large spread in the dimensionless position enabling a non-classical transition mechanism that is classically forbidden, inducing chaos in the system. These results are verified by the numerical calculation of the maximal Lyapunov exponent in the quantum regime. The second part of this thesis investigates the possibility of controlling the degree of chaos with quantum control. We design an effective control scheme to control the degree of chaos using the measurement dependency of the state. We propose an adaptive measurement scheme which changes the homodyne measurement angle in real time depending on the direction of the state's interference fringes in phase space. This is done using the knowledge gained by the measurement signal. We show that this control scheme can enhance or suppress chaos. By enhancing the degree of chaos we are also able to push the onset of chaos further into the quantum regime than was possible before. By suppressing chaos we generate highly non-classical states and regular motion. The feasibility of experimentally realising this control technique is discussed in detail. The final section of this thesis considers a chaotic system that is not dissipative in the classical limit: the driven top. We investigate the effect that opening the quantum system to decoherence has on the degree of chaos when we continuously measure the system. We demonstrate that the presence of decoherence suppresses the chaos and alters the dynamics of the quantum system. This is seen to worsen as the strength of the measurement is increased unless a particular measurement is chosen that perfectly cancels out the decoherence resulting in the Hamiltonian evolution in addition to noise from the measurement. These results are verified by the separation time between classical and quantum dynamics.
