Semiclassical properties and chaos degree for the quantum Baker’s map

Abstract

We study the chaotic behavior and the quantum-classical correspondence for the Baker’s map. Correspondence between quantum and classical expectation values is investigated and it is numerically shown that it is lost at the logarithmic timescale. The quantum chaos degree is computed and it is demonstrated that it describes the chaotic features of the model. The correspondence between classical and quantum chaos degrees is considered.

On Quantum - Classical Correspondence for Baker's Map

Kei Inoue, Makoto Ohya, I. V. Volovich

Quantum baker`s map is a model of chaotic system. We study quantum dynamics for the quantum baker's map. We use the Schack and Caves symbolic description of the quantum baker`s map. We find an exact expression for the expectation value of the time dependent position operator. A relation between quantum and classical trajectories is investigated. Breakdown of the quantum-classical correspondence at the logarithmic timescale is rigorously established.

Hypersensitivity and chaos signatures in the quantum baker's maps

A J Scott, Todd A. Brun, Carlton M. Caves +1 more

Classical chaotic systems are distinguished by their sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The absence of this property in quantum systems has lead to a number of proposals for perturbation-based characterizations of quantum chaos, including linear growth of entropy, exponential decay of fidelity, and hypersensitivity to perturbation. All of these accurately predict chaos in the classical limit, but it is not clear that they behave the same far from the classical realm. We investigate the dynamics of a family of quantizations of the baker's map, which range from a highly entangling unitary transformation to an essentially trivial shift map. Linear entropy growth and fidelity decay are exhibited by this entire family of maps, but hypersensitivity distinguishes between the simple dynamics of the trivial shift map and the more complicated dynamics of the other quantizations. This conclusion is supported by an analytical argument for short times and numerical evidence at later times.

On a Combined Quantum Baker's Map and Its Characterization by Entropic Chaos Degree

Kei Inoue, Masanori Ohya, Igor Vasil'evich Volovich

Quantum Baker's map is a theoretical model that exhibits chaos in a quantum system. In this paper, we introduce a combined map by combining several quantum Baker's maps. Chaos of such a combined dynamics is studied by the entropic chaos degree.

Dynamical entanglement as a signature of chaos in the semiclassical limit

M. Lombardi, A. Matzkin

The relationship between classically chaotic dynamics and the entanglement properties of the corresponding quantum system is examined in the semiclassical limit. Numerical results are computed for a modified kicked top, keeping the classical dynamics constant while investigating the entanglement for several versions of the corresponding quantum system characterized by a different value of the effective Planck constant ℏ eff. Our findings indicate that as ℏ eff → 0, the apparent signatures of classical chaos in the entanglement properties, such as characteristic oscillations in the time-dependence of the linear entropy, can also be obtained in the regular regime. These results suggest that entanglement is not a universal marker of chaotic dynamics of the corresponding classical system.

Relatively robust classical structures in dissipative quantum chaotic systems

Lisandro A. Raviola, Gabriel G. Carlo, Alejandro M. F. Rivas

We study the stability of classical structures in chaotic systems when a dissipative quantum evolution takes place. We consider a paradigmatic model, the quantum baker map in contact with a heat bath at finite temperature. We analyze the behavior of the purity, fidelity and Husimi distributions corresponding to initial states localized on short periodic orbits (scar functions) and map eigenstates. Scar functions, that have a fundamental role in the semiclassical description of chaotic systems, emerge as robust relative to other states (which are localized on classical structures) against environmental perturbations. Also, purity and fidelity show a complementary behavior as decoherence measures.

Hypersensitivity to perturbations in the quantum baker’s map

Rüdiger Schack, Carlton M. Caves

We analyze a randomly perturbed quantum version of the baker's transformation, a prototype of an area-conserving chaotic map. By simulating the perturbed evolution, we estimate the information needed to follow a perturbed Hilbert-space vector in time. We find that the Landauer erasure cost associated with this grows very rapidly and becomes larger than the maximum statistical entropy given by the logarithm of the dimension of Hilbert space. The quantum baker's map displays a hypersensitivity to perturbations analogous to behavior found in the classical case. This hypersensitivity characterizes ``quantum chaos'' in a way that is relevant to statistical physics.
