Using a semiclassical ansatz we analytically predict for the fidelity of-kicked rotors the occurrence of revivals and the disappearance of intermediate revival peaks arising from the breaking of a symmetry in the initial conditions. A numerical verification of the predicted effects is given and experimental ramifications are discussed.

evolution of phases and the superposition principle which distinguishes a quantum from a classical system. Phase evo- lutions can be monitored in many ways, e.g., by correlation functions关1兴. A quantity which has gained interest in the last decade is fidelity 关2兴 defined as the overlap of two wave functions subjected to slightly different temporal evolutions.

The temporal evolution of this quantum fidelity crucially de- pends on evolving relative phases. For many-particle sys- tems, fidelity can be viewed as a Hilbert space measure to study quantum phase transitions 关3兴 and the regular-to- chaotic transition in complex quantum systems 关4兴. For single-particle evolutions fidelity was measured in electro- magnetic wave 关5兴 and matter wave 关6兴 billiards and with two different methods for periodically kicked cold atoms 关7,8兴.

The latter system is a realization of the quantum kicked rotor共QKR兲, the standard model for low-dimensional quan- tum chaos and the occurrence of dynamical localization关9兴.

Great interest in the QKR has reemerged in the study of its quantum resonant motion 关10–16兴 and related accelerator modes关17–20兴. These two regimes are far from the classical limit of the QKR and, therefore, governed by distinct quan- tum effects. Nevertheless, close to quantum resonance the system can be described 共pseudo兲classically with a new Planck’s constant, which is the detuning from the exact reso- nant value of the kicking period关10,18,21兴. For the quantum resonances, the underlying pseudoclassical model is com- pletely integrable and corresponds in good approximation to the dynamics of a classical pendulum关10,21兴.

In this Rapid Communication we apply well-known semi- classical methods to describe the behavior of fidelity close to the lowest-order quantum resonances of the QKR. We extend previous analytical results at exact resonance 关11兴 to a broader parameter regime, recently measured in experiments performed by Wu and co-workers 关8兴. The behavior of clas- sical 关22兴 and quantum fidelity 关23,24兴, in the case when classical motion is integrable, has mainly been addressed nu- merically so far, while our approach is both numerical and analytical. Also, the recurrences of fidelity found in关23兴 for the near-integrable regime of the kicked rotor are just pre- dicted for perturbative variations around small kicking strengths. Our results are more general, allowing, e.g., for strong changes of the fidelity parameter as long as the mo- tion remains nearly resonant. As expected, in the nearly reso-

nant regime, the temporal behavior of fidelity follows the behavior at exact resonance the longer, the smaller the de- tuning from resonance. Indeed, we show that the exactly resonant result predicted in 关11兴 by quantum calculations is retrieved by pseudoclassical analysis. At large times, how- ever, the exactly resonant fidelity and the nearly resonant one differ, as the latter displays recurrent revivals while the former steadily decays. Such revivals are approximately pe- riodic. Their period depends on the detuning from resonance and diverges as exact resonance is approached so this note- worthy phenomenon is unrelated to quantum resonant dy- namics. On the other hand, it is quite unexpected on classical grounds because the system is chaotic in the proper classical limit. Revivals of fidelity are thus a quantum effect and yet are explained by a 共pseudo兲classical analysis that relates them to periodic motion inside pseudoclassical resonant is- lands. Experimental possibilities to verify our predictions are discussed at the end of the Rapid Communication.

The dynamics of kicked atoms moving along a line in position space is described, in dimensionless units, by the Hamiltonian关10,25兴

where x is the position coordinate and p is its conjugate momentum. We use units in which ប=1 so the parameter

plays the role of an effective Planck’s constant; t is a con- tinuous time variable and t

so fully contribute to fidelity in spite of their angles being different by

in the case of odd multiples. At

⫽0 this symmetry is lost. Comparing numerical data 共obtained by repeated application of the Floquet operator to the initial wave function兲 with the analytical predictions we find excel- lent agreement. We observe the expected peak structure of the revivals in Fig. 1 and the loss of intermediate revival peaks at T12/2 in Fig. 2共a兲. The time scale on which the revivals occur is proportional to

−1/2and of crucial impact to experimental measurements: conservation of coherence has been shown for up to 150 kicks 共see 关19兴兲 with cold atoms, making an observation of the revivals for reasonable

ⱗ0.01 possible. Earlier realizations of the QKR were implemented using cold atoms关7,12,14兴 with broad distribu- tions in quasimomentum. Nowadays, much better control of quasimomentum is provided by using Bose-Einstein conden- sates 共see 关13,16兴兲, which allow for a restriction in

up to 0.2%共as achieved in 关16兴兲 of the Brillouin zone. This would allow us to verify our results by conveniently reducing the intervals in quasimomentum and thus retracing the revivals with period T12/2 to the exactly resonant and the revivals with period T12 to the near-resonant rotors. There exists an interesting second possibility to measure the transition from Eq.共12兲 to Eq. 共11兲 with just cold atoms since the

scales with the kicking period, i.e.,

¯ =

− 1/2兲. Due to this scaling, the limit

→0 共automatically implying also

→0, cf. 关14兴兲 permits a measurement of Eq. 共12兲 even with an ensemble of cold atoms whose quasimomenta occupy the full Brillouin zone. Also the momentum selective interfero- metric measurements of fidelity关8兴 allow us to select narrow intervals of quasimomenta and hence would permit to check our predictions experimentally.

To summarize, we predict fidelity revivals in the QKR close to quantum resonance using a semiclassical ansatz. Our results are supported by numerical data showing the same characteristic revival peaks. Every second peak vanishes once the symmetry of the initial quasimomentum distribution on the resonance island is broken. This makes for a surpris- ing transition that could be measured with both cold and ultracold atoms owing to the scaling of

¯ or the use of mo- mentum selective methods as described in the previous para- graph.

We propose a simple classical dynamical model of a thermoelectric sor thermochemicald heat engine based on a pair of ideal gas containers connected by two unequal scattering

It works in real time and provides instantaneous two-dimensional velocity mappings in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis, independently of the particle concentration and

We localized aFGF in a fraction of serotonin-pro- ducing enterochromaffin (EC) cells of the normal gut, while it was absent in gastrin (G), CCK, secretin (S), so-

Given the ease with which the appropriate deterministic benchmarks can be generated, and the fact that the convergence of parallel tempering on these systems has been measured

In their paper the authors suggest that propensity score matching is a good device to reduce bias in the estimation of the average treatment effect in observational studies (no

Two different regimes are singled out, the first characterized by normal transport, being indeed equivalent to a persistent random walk with constant reversal probability, while

Rock varnish, erosional grooves, and well-developed cavernous weathering phenomena occur in close association on a small biotite-monzogranite nunatak in the Northern Foothills

For instance Ps-He has not been treated in a fully many-body framework. A glance at the recent literature on bound sys- tems containing a positron reveals an essentially
