Kicked rotor is a paradigmatic model for classical and quantum chaos in time-dependent
Hamiltonian systems. More than fifty years since the introduction of this model, there is an …

With the exception of the harmonic oscillator, quantum wave packets usually spread as time
evolves. This is due to the non-linear character of the classical equations of motion which …

Chaos: from simple models to complex systems aims to guide science and engineering
students through chaos and nonlinear dynamics from classical examples to the most recent …

During recent years we could bear witness to an immense research activity, both in
experimental and theoretical physics, as well as in chemistry, aimed at understanding the …

In this book we summarize the essential results of our efforts over the years to calculate
energies, wave functions, and electromagnetic transitions of atoms as functions of the …

We present experimental and theoretical results on highly excited Rydberg atoms passing
through a waveguide. The waveguide is excited in a coherent mode with a superimposed …

The deflection of an atomic beam passing a standing-wave laser field in front of an
oscillating mirror occurs by chaotic diffusive momentum transfer in a classical description …

What is the behavior of a low-dimensional quantal system whose classical, deterministic,
Hamiltonian, counterpart is non-integrable and undergoes a transition to chaos? After a …

We report the first measurements of microwave excitation and ionization of excited hydrogen
atoms for scaled frequencies n 0 3 ω up to 2.8. Classical 3D calculations which directly …
