Quantum kicked rotor and its variants: Chaos, localization and beyond

MS Santhanam, S Paul, JB Kannan - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
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 …

Artificial Brownian motors: Controlling transport on the nanoscale

P Hänggi, F Marchesoni - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2009 - APS
In systems possessing spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, Brownian motion combined
with unbiased external input signals, deterministic and random alike, can assist directed …

Interaction-induced directed transport in quantum chaotic subsystems

S Paul, JB Kannan, MS Santhanam - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Quantum directed transport can be realized in noninteracting, deterministic, chaotic systems
by appropriately breaking the spatiotemporal symmetries in the potential. In this work, the …

Ratchet current in a -symmetric Floquet quantum system with symmetric sinusoidal driving

Z Li, X Hu, J **ao, Y Chen, X Luo - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We consider the ratchet dynamics in a PT-symmetric Floquet quantum system with
symmetric temporal (harmonic) driving. In the exact PT-symmetry phase, for a finite number …

Directed momentum current induced by the -symmetric driving

WL Zhao, J Wang, X Wang, P Tong - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We investigate the directed momentum current in the quantum kicked rotor model with PT-
symmetric deriving potential. For the quantum nonresonance case, the values of …

Phase modulation of directed transport, energy diffusion, and quantum scrambling in a Floquet non-Hermitian system

WL Zhao, G Li, J Liu - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
We investigate both analytically and numerically the wavepacket's dynamics in momentum
space for a Floquet non-Hermitian system with a periodically kicked driven potential. We …

Asymmetric dynamical localization and precision measurement of the micromotion of a Bose-Einstein condensate

SS Maurya, JB Kannan, K Patel, P Dutta, K Biswas… - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We employ a Bose-Einstein-condensate–based atom-optic kicked rotor to generate an
asymmetrically localized momentum distribution that depends upon the initial velocity of the …

Ratchet effect in the quantum kicked rotor and its destruction by dynamical localization

C Hainaut, A Rançon, JF Clément, JC Garreau… - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We study experimentally a quantum kicked rotor with broken parity symmetry, supporting a
ratchet effect due to the presence of a classical accelerator mode. We show that the short …

J Wang, J Gong - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2008 - APS
In a quantum ratchet accelerator system, a linearly increasing directed current can be
dynamically generated without using a biased field. Generic quantum ratchet acceleration …
