Quantum Localization in Open Chaotic Systems
Abstract
We study a quasi-Floquet state of a $δ$-kicked rotor with absorbing boundaries focusing on the nature of the dynamical localization in open quantum systems. The localization lengths $ξ$ of lossy quasi-Floquet states located near the absorbing boundaries decrease as they approach the boundary while the corresponding decay rates $Γ$ are dramatically enhanced. We find the relation $ξ\sim Γ^{-1/2}$ and explain it based upon the finite time diffusion, which can also be applied to a random unitary operator model. We conjecture that this idea is valid for the system exhibiting both the diffusion in classical dynamics and the exponential localization in quantum mechanics.
