Random maps in physical systems
Abstract
We show that functions of type $X_n = P[Z^n]$, where $P[t]$ is a periodic function and $Z$ is a generic real number, can produce sequences such that any string of values $X_{s}, X_{s+1}, ...,X_{s+m}$ is deterministically independent of past and future values. There are no correlations between any values of the sequence. We show that this kind of dynamics can be generated using a recently constructed optical device composed of several Mach--Zehnder interferometers. Quasiperiodic signals can be transformed into random dynamics using nonlinear circuits. We present the results of real experiments with nonlinear circuits that simulate exponential and sine functions.
