Chaos and its suppression in a system of two coupled Rydberg atoms

Abstract

The nonlinear behavior and chaos in a system of two coupled Rydberg atoms is investigated. A map of the regimes in which oscillations with different periods are plotted is produced, and the chaotic behavior of the system is revealed. A procedure for suppressing chaos in the system by means of an external parametric effect is presented.

Chaos in coupled atom–molecular Bose–Einstein condensates

Haiming Deng, Jian‐Quan Huang, Dajun Lei +2 more

Abstract We investigate the chaotic dynamics of a coupled three-level atom–molecular Bose–Einstein condensate system composed by one molecular mode and two atomic modes. With the increase of atom–molecular coupling strength, we reveal the emergence of chaotic oscillations of the relative population difference between two atomic modes, which can be proven by the broad windows with a huge number of frequencies in spectral density and the chaotic trajectories in phase space diagrams. The different effects of initial states on atomic population oscillations are revealed, where for more particles in the initial state of the molecular model, chaos appears in the larger parameter region of system dynamics. Furthermore, we find that strong intermolecular interaction strength can suppress chaos resulting from strong atom–molecule coupling. This is due to the difficult transformation between atomic and molecular modes, as well as the relatively independent dynamic evolution of atoms and molecules.

Chaos and hyperchaos in a chain of coupled Rydberg atoms

Alexander G. Balanov, Andrey V. Andreev

Partially quantum coherent arrays of artificial atoms (e.g., superconducting qubits) may be used as analogue simulators of other quantum systems, when the behaviour of the latter cannot be directly observed or modeled by classical means. Here we show that a chain of superconducting qubits can simulate the chaotic behaviour predicted in chains of Rydberg atoms. We investigate the transition from periodic to chaotic dynamics and show the increase of the number of positive Lyapunov exponents as the number of atoms grows. The possibility of an external control and suppression of hyperchaos in the chain is demonstrated.

Structures and chaos in parametric Rabi oscillations

Sergey V. Prants

In the strong-coupling limit, the nonlinear dynamics of interaction of two-level atoms with their own emission field in a cavity with a periodically modulated length was studied. An analytical analysis was made that shows the appearance of regions in the pseudophase space of Maxwell-Bloch equations that are responsible for the origin of dynamic chaos for the smallest possible modulation depth, and the homoclinic mechanism of their formation was revealed. In the model of a Rydberg maser with a modulated cavity, a special type of chaos was numerically discovered. This chaos, which was called structural, manifests itself under certain conditions in parametric oscillations of atomic population. On the one hand, these Rabi oscillations demonstrate sensitivity to initial conditions with a positive maximum Lyapunov exponent, and, on the other hand, they represent a signal with a long-term structure that is caused by modulation.

Dynamics of Coupled Quantum–Classical Oscillators

He Wei-Zhong, Xu Liu-Su, Zou Feng-wu

The dynamics of systems consisting of coupled quantum–classical oscillators is numerically investigated. It is shown that, under certain conditions, the quantum oscillator exhibits chaos. When the mass of the classical oscillator increases, the chaos will be suppressed; if the energy of the system and/or the coupling strength between the two oscillators increases, chaotic behaviour of the system appears. This result will be helpful to understand the probability of the emergence of quantum chaos and may be applied to explain the spectra of complex atoms qualitatively.

Chaos in coupled Kerr-nonlinear parametric oscillators

Hayato Goto, Taro Kanao

A Kerr-nonlinear parametric oscillator (KPO) can generate a quantum superposition of two oscillating states, known as a Schr\"odinger cat state, via quantum adiabatic evolution and can be used as a qubit for gate-based quantum computing and quantum annealing. In this work, we investigate complex dynamics, i.e., chaos, in two coupled nondissipative KPOs at a few-photon level. After showing that a classical model for this system is nonintegrable and consequently exhibits chaotic behavior, we provide quantum counterparts for the classical results, which are quantum versions of the Poincar\'e surface of section and its lower-dimensional version defined with time integrals of the Wigner and Husimi functions and also the initial and long-term behavior of out-of-time-ordered correlators. We conclude that some of them can be regarded as quantum signatures of chaos, together with energy-level spacing statistics (conventional signature). Thus, the system of coupled KPOs is expected to offer not only an alternative approach to quantum computing but also a promising platform for the study on quantum chaos.

Non-linear Behavior and Quantum Chaos in Laser and Cooperative Atomic Systems

Chaotic behavior of laser oscillation is investigated by numerical calculation of quantum statistical equation of laser field, for the case of single mode and two-level systems. Relaxation-like distribution of laser field is expected from the quantum property of light. Further, coupled spin operators which are the base of atomic two-level system is investigated in expectation of chaotic behavior that might be origin of laser chaos.
