Order-to-chaos transition in the model of a quantum pendulum subjected to noisy perturbation
Abstract
Motion of randomly-driven quantum nonlinear pendulum is considered. Utilizing one-step Poincaré map, we demonstrate that classical phase space corresponding to a single realization of the random perturbation involves domains of finite-time stability. Statistical analysis of the finite-time evolution operator (FTEO) is carried out in order to study influence of finite-time stability on quantum dynamics. It is shown that domains of finite-time stability give rise to ordered patterns in distributions of FTEO eigenfunctions. Transition to global chaos is accompanied by smearing of these patterns; however, some of their traces survive on relatively long timescales.
