Map from one-dimensional quantum field theory to quantum chaos on a two-dimensional torus

Abstract

Dynamics of a class of quantum field models on a one-dimensional (1D) lattice in a Heisenberg picture is mapped onto a class of quantum chaotic one-body systems on a configurational 2D torus (or 2D lattice) in the Schrödinger picture. The continuum field limit of the former corresponds to the quasiclassical limit of the latter.

Quantum-“classical” correspondence in a nonadiabatic transition system

Hiroshi Fujisaki

A nonadiabatic transition system which exhibits "quantum chaotic" behavior [H. Fujisaki and K. Takatsuka, Phys. Rev. E 63, 066221 (2001)] is investigated from quasiclassical aspects. Since such a system does not have a naive classical limit, we take the mapping approach [Stock and Thoss, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 578 (1997)] to represent the quasiclassical dynamics of the system. We numerically show that there is a sound correspondence between the quantum chaos and classical chaos for the system.

Notes on solvable models of many-body quantum chaos

Shunyu Yao

We study a class of many body chaotic models related to the Brownian Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. An emergent symmetry maps the quantum dynamics into a classical stochastic process. Thus we are able to study many dynamical properties at finite N on an arbitrary graph structure. A comprehensive study of operator size growth with or without spatial locality is presented. We will show universal behaviors emerge at large N limit, and compare them with field theory method. We also design simple stochastic processes as an intuitive way of thinking about many-body chaotic behaviors. Other properties including entanglement growth and other variants of this solvable models are discussed.

Semiclassical Theory of Many-Body Quantum Chaos and its Bound

Thomas Scaffidi, Ehud Altman

We introduce a direct quantum-classical correspondence for the dynamics of quantum many-body systems. The bound on chaos is understood as a chaotic edge in the classical Lyapunov spectrum, separating the lower part of the spectrum for which a classical chaos picture applies from the higher part of the spectrum for which quantum interference effects destroy classical chaos. The dominant mode in bound-saturating systems is exactly at the mobility edge and therefore inherits a universal critical behavior. We provide an explicit example by introducing a classical version of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model for which chaos can be understood as arising from diverging geodesics on a high-dimensional manifold with a random metric.

Chaos and correspondence in classical and quantum Hamiltonian ratchets: A Heisenberg approach

Jordan Pelc, Jiangbin Gong, Paul W. Brumer

Previous work [Gong and Brumer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 240602 (2006)] motivates this study as to how asymmetry-driven quantum ratchet effects can persist despite a corresponding fully chaotic classical phase space. A simple perspective of ratchet dynamics, based on the Heisenberg picture, is introduced. We show that ratchet effects are in principle of common origin in classical and quantum mechanics, although full chaos suppresses these effects in the former but not necessarily the latter. The relationship between ratchet effects and coherent dynamical control is noted.

Correspondence in quasiperiodic and chaotic maps: Quantization via the von Neumann equation

Joshua Wilkie, Paul W. Brumer

A generalized approach to the quantization of a large class of maps on a torus, i.e., quantization via the von Neumann equation, is described and a number of issues related to the quantization of model systems are discussed. The approach yields well-behaved mixed quantum states for tori for which the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation has no solutions, as well as an extended spectrum for tori where the Schr\"odinger equation can be solved. Quantum-classical correspondence is demonstrated for the class of mappings considered, with the Wigner-Weyl density p(p,q,t) going to the correct classical limit. An application to the cat map yields, in a direct manner, nonchaotic quantum dynamics, plus the exact chaotic classical propagator in the correspondence limit.

Normal-transport behavior in finite one-dimensional chaotic quantum systems

Robin Steinigeweg, Jochen Gemmer B, M Michel

We investigate the transport of energy, magnetization, etc. in several finite one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems only by solving the corresponding time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We explicitly renounce any other transport analysis technique. Varying model parameters we find a sharp transition from non-normal to normal transport and a transition from integrability to chaos, i.e ., from Poissonian to Wigner-like level statistics. These transitions always appear in conjunction with each other. We investigate some rather abstract “design models” and a (locally perturbed) Heisenberg spin chain.
