Driven quantum tunneling

M Grifoni, P Hänggi - Physics Reports, 1998 - Elsevier
A contemporary review on the behavior of driven tunneling in quantum systems is
presented. Diverse phenomena, such as control of tunneling, higher harmonic generation …

Wannier–Stark resonances in optical and semiconductor superlattices

M Glück, AR Kolovsky, HJ Korsch - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
In this work, we discuss the resonance states of a quantum particle in a periodic potential
plus a static force. Originally, this problem was formulated for a crystal electron subject to a …

Observation of chaos-assisted tunneling between islands of stability

DA Steck, WH Oskay, MG Raizen - science, 2001 - science.org
We report the direct observation of quantum dynamical tunneling of atoms between
separated momentum regions in phase space. We study how the tunneling oscillations are …

Dynamical tunneling in mixed systems

SD Frischat, E Doron - Physical Review E, 1998 - APS
We study quantum-mechanical tunneling in mixed dynamical systems between symmetry-
related phase space tori separated by a chaotic layer. Considering, eg, the annular billiard …

Classical and quantum chaos in atom optics

F Saif - Physics Reports, 2005 - Elsevier
The interaction of an atom with an electro-magnetic field is discussed in the presence of a
time periodic external modulating force. It is explained that a control on atom by electro …

Chaos-assisted tunneling with cold atoms

A Mouchet, C Miniatura, R Kaiser, B Grémaud… - Physical Review E, 2001 - APS
In the context of quantum chaos, both theory and numerical analysis predict large
fluctuations of the tunneling transition probabilities when irregular dynamics is present at the …

Dynamical tunnelling in molecules: quantum routes to energy flow

S Keshavamurthy - International Reviews in Physical Chemistry, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
Dynamical tunnelling, introduced in the molecular context, is more than two decades old and
refers to phenomena that are classically forbidden but allowed by quantum mechanics. The …

Influence of classical resonances on chaotic tunneling

A Mouchet, C Eltschka, P Schlagheck - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2006 - APS
Dynamical tunneling between symmetry-related stable modes is studied in the periodically
driven pendulum. We present strong evidence that the tunneling process is governed by …

A generalized entropy measuring quantum localization

B Mirbach, HJ Korsch - Annals of Physics, 1998 - Elsevier
We present an entropy concept measuring quantum localization in dynamical systems
based on time averaged probability densities. The suggested entropy concept is a …

Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics for high-order harmonic generation spectra

N Moiseyev, M Lein - The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2003 - ACS Publications
High-order harmonic generation spectra of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields show
a wide plateau of odd harmonics, with photon energies high up to the soft X-ray regime. The …
