This book, for the first time, presents a review on
transition from regular dynamics to quantum chaos in a
quantum degenerate system -- a harmonic oscillator
perturbed by a monochromatic wave. The model, being one
of the simplest dynamical systems, exhibits the
fundamental properties of nonlinearity, quantum
instability and chaos. And, more importantly, it
describes practical systems such as an ion in a linear
ion trap interacting with laser radiation, an electron
in magnetic field interacting with a plasma wave, an
acoustic quantum cyclotron resonance in metals, and a
two-dimensional electron gas in semiconductor
heterostructures. This book explains in details how the
transition to quantum chaos occurs and how the
theoretical predictions can be tested in experiments.
The book is useful to students and scientists who are
interested to understand the nature of quantum
instabilities and chaos in dynamic systems and their
applications in technological problems. |
