Approximate approach to the quantum statistics of the superposition of coherent and chaotic fields

Formulae recently derived for the integrated intensity distribution, the photon-counting distribution and its factorial moments in the statistics of the superposition of multimode coherent and chaotic fields are analyzed in greater detail and their validity as approximate formulae for light of arbitrary spectrum is investigated. It is shown by explicit calculation of the third factorial moment of the photon-counting distribution for the superposition of a one-mode coherent field with a Gaussian Lorentzian field that the proposed formulae hold with very good accuracy over a wide range of conditions.The authors thank Dr. Z.

On the accuracy of the approximate formulae for the photon counting statistics of mixed coherent and chaotic radiation

We compare the photon counting statistics for mixed coherent and chaotic radiation calculated with the help of approximate formulae and exact recurrence formulae recently obtained. We investigate Lorentzian, Gaussian and rectangular spectrum of chaotic radiation and show that the accuracy of the approximate formulae, which are relatively simple, is better than 1% if the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than 4 for arbitrary values of the other parameters. If the signal-to-noise ratio is less than one the agreement of the approximate and exact values is only fair. The simple closed-form approximate formulae may be useful particularly for systems employing laser radiation.

Higher-order <Emphasis Type="Bold">?</Emphasis> corrections in the semiclassical quantization of chaotic billiards

In the periodic orbit quantization of physical systems, usually only the leading-order ? contribution to the density of states is considered. Therefore, by construction, the eigenvalues following from semiclassical trace formulae generally agree with the exact quantum ones only to lowest order of ?. In different theoretical work the trace formulae have been extended to higher orders of ?. The problem remains, however, how to actually calculate eigenvalues from the extended trace formulae since, even with ? corrections included, the periodic orbit sums still do not converge in the physical domain. For lowest-order semiclassical trace formulae the convergence problem can be elegantly, and universally, circumvented by application of the technique of harmonic inversion. In this paper we show how, for general scaling chaotic systems, also higher-order ? corrections to the Gutzwiller formula can be included in the harmonic inversion scheme, and demonstrate that corrected semiclassical eigenvalues can be calculated despite the convergence problem. The method is applied to the open three-disk scattering system, as a prototype of a chaotic system. Received 10 September 2001 and Received in final form 3 January 2002     

Quantum graphs: Applications to quantum chaos and universal spectral statistics

During the last few years quantum graphs have become a paradigm of quantum chaos with applications from spectral statistics to chaotic scattering and wavefunction statistics. In the first part of this review we give a detailed introduction to the spectral theory of quantum graphs and discuss exact trace formulae for the spectrum and the quantum-to-classical correspondence. The second part of this review is devoted to the spectral statistics of quantum graphs as an application to quantum chaos. In particular, we summarize recent developments on the spectral statistics of generic large quantum graphs based on two approaches: the periodic-orbit approach and the supersymmetry approach. The latter provides a condition and a proof for universal spectral statistics as predicted by random-matrix theory.     

Design criteria of a chemical reactor based on a chaotic flow

We consider the design criteria of a chemical mixing device based on a chaotic flow, with an emphasis on the steady-state devices. The merit of a reactor, defined as the Q-factor, is related to the physical dimension of the device and the molecular diffusivity of the reactants through the local Lyapunov exponents of the flow. The local Lyapunov exponent can be calculated for any given flow field and it can also be measured in experimental situations. Easy-to-compute formulae are provided to estimate the Q-factor given either the exact spatial dependence of the local Lyapunov exponent or its probability distribution function. The requirements for optimization are made precise in the context of local Lyapunov exponents. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics.     

Chaos suppression of uncertain gyros in a given finite time

The gyro is one of the most interesting and everlasting nonlinear dynamical systems,which displays very rich and complex dynamics,such as sub-harmonic and chaotic behaviors.We study the chaos suppression of the chaotic gyros in a given finite time.Considering the effects of model uncertainties,external disturbances,and fully unknown parameters,we design a robust adaptive finite-time controller to suppress the chaotic vibration of the uncertain gyro as quickly as possible.Using the finite-time control technique,we give the exact value of the chaos suppression time.A mathematical theorem is presented to prove the finite-time stability of the proposed scheme.The numerical simulation shows the efficiency and usefulness of the proposed finite-time chaos suppression strategy.     

Transformation to soluble model for structural phase transition from (4 × 1) to (8 × “2”) of In-adsorbed Si(1 1 1) surface

The Ising model proposed previously for the structural phase transition from (4 × 1) to (8 × “2”) of In-adsorbed Si(1 1 1) surface, Hamiltonian of which is consisting of a two-spin interaction as well as a four-spin interaction is shown to be equivalent in thermodynamic properties to a soluble Ising model with two-spin interactions. Temperature dependence of the long range order and the transition temperature can now be determined from the exact formulae. Comparison between the simulation results and those from the exact formulae is made to see accuracy of the simulation.     

Arbitrary full-state hybrid projective synchronization for chaotic discrete-time systems via a scalar signal

In this paper we present a new projective synchronization scheme,where two chaotic(hyperchaotic) discretetime systems synchronize for any arbitrary scaling matrix.Specifically,each drive system state synchronizes with a linear combination of response system states.The proposed observer-based approach presents some useful features:i) it enables exact synchronization to be achieved in finite time(i.e.,dead-beat synchronization);ii) it exploits a scalar synchronizing signal;iii) it can be applied to a wide class of discrete-time chaotic(hyperchaotic) systems;iv) it includes,as a particular case,most of the synchronization types defined so far.An example is reported,which shows in detail that exact synchronization is effectively achieved in finite time,using a scalar synchronizing signal only,for any arbitrary scaling matrix.     

Approximate,non-relativistic scattering phase shifts,bound state energies,and wave function normalization factors for a screened Coulomb potential of the Hulthén type

Non-relativistic scattering phase shifts, bound state energies, and wave function normalization factors for a screened Coulomb potential of the Hulthén type are presented in the form of relatively simple analytic expressions. These formulae have been obtained by a suitable renormalization procedure applied to the quantities derived from an approximate Schrödinger equation which contains the exact Hulthén potential together with an approximate angular momentum term. When the screening exponent vanishes, our formulae reduce to the exact Coulomb expressions. The interrelation between our formulae and Pratt's ‘analytic perturbation theory for screened Coulomb potentials’ is discussed.     

Decoding information by following parameter modulation with parameter adaptive control

It has been proposed to realize secure communication using chaotic synchronization via transmission of a binary message encoded by parameter modulation in the chaotic system. This paper considers the use of parameter adaptive control techniques to extract the message, based on the assumptions that we know the equation form of the chaotic system in the transmitter but do not have access to the precise values of the parameters which are kept secret as a secure set. In the case in which a synchronizing system can be constructed using parameter adaptive control by the transmitted signal and the synchronization is robust to parameter mismatches, the parameter modulation can be revealed and the message decoded without resorting to exact parameter values in the secure set. A practical local Lyapunov function method for designing parameter adaptive control rules based on originally synchronized systems is presented.

Strange saddles and the dimensions of their invariant manifolds

Nonattracting chaotic sets play a fundamental role in typical dynamical systems. They occur, for example, in the form of chaotic transient sets and fractal basin boundaries. The subject of this paper is the dimensions of these sets and of their stable and unstable manifolds. Numerical experiments are performed to determine these dimensions. The results are consistent with a conjectured formulae expressing the dimensions in terms of Lyapunov exponents and the transient life-time associated with the strange saddle.

Generalized Fokker-Planck equation approach to optical parametric processes II. Photocounting statistics

We study the photocounting statistics of a system of three interacting one-mode boson fields based on results of the recursion procedure of solving the generalized Fokker-Planck equation developed in the first part of this paper. If some simplifications are adopted or losses neglected, we are able to obtain explicit solutions for the photocounting generating function, the photocounting distribution and its factorial moments in terms of the multimode superposition of coherent and chaotic fields, the chaotic component being negative in the anticorrelation state.     

Unstable periodic orbits and noise in chaos computing

Different methods to utilize the rich library of patterns and behaviors of a chaotic system have been proposed for doing computation or communication. Since a chaotic system is intrinsically unstable and its nearby orbits diverge exponentially from each other, special attention needs to be paid to the robustness against noise of chaos-based approaches to computation. In this paper unstable periodic orbits, which form the skeleton of any chaotic system, are employed to build a model for the chaotic system to measure the sensitivity of each orbit to noise, and to select the orbits whose symbolic representations are relatively robust against the existence of noise. Furthermore, since unstable periodic orbits are extractable from time series, periodic orbit-based models can be extracted from time series too. Chaos computing can be and has been implemented on different platforms, including biological systems. In biology noise is always present; as a result having a clear model for the effects of noise on any given biological implementation has profound importance. Also, since in biology it is hard to obtain exact dynamical equations of the system under study, the time series techniques we introduce here are of critical importance.     

Computationally efficient recurrence relations for one-dimensional Franck–Condon overlap integrals

Calculations based on analytical expressions for the harmonic oscillator Franck–Condon factors often yield numerically unstable and erroneous results for large values of the oscillator quantum numbers. This instability arises from inherent machine precision limits and large number round-off associated with the products and ratios of factorial and gamma functions in these expressions; the analytical expressions themselves are exact. This paper presents, first, efficient, exact recurrence relations to evaluate Franck–Condon factors for the harmonic oscillator model. The recurrence relations, which are similar to those originally found by Manneback, Wagner and Ansbacher avoid the direct use of the factorial and gamma functions. Second, a variational strategy for the evaluation of Franck–Condon factors for the Morse oscillator is proposed. The Schrödinger equation for the Morse model is solved variationally with a large enough basis set of one-dimensional harmonic oscillator functions to get good agreement with the analytic eigenvalues of the Morse potential itself. The eigenvectors of this analysis are then used together with the associated harmonic oscillator Franck–Condon overlap matrix elements to evaluate the overlap for the Morse potential. This approach allows one, in principle, to estimate Franck–Condon overlap up to states near to the dissociation limit of the Morse oscillator.     

Quantum Signatures of Chaos in Adiabatic Interaction Between a Trapped Ion and a Laser Standing Wave

We study quantum motion around a classical heteroclinic point of a single trapped ion interacting with a strong laser standing wave. We construct a set of exact coherent states of the quantum system and from the exact solutions reveal that quantum signatures of chaos can be induced by the adiabatic interaction between the trapped ion and the laser standing wave, where the quantum expectation values of position and momentum correspond to the classically chaotic orbit. The chaotic region on the phase space is illustrated. The energy crossing and quantum resonance in time evolution and the exponentially increased Heisenberg uncertainty are found. The results suggest a theoretical scheme for controlling the unstable regular and chaotic motions.     

Generalized Fokker-Planck equation approach to optical parametric processes I. Equations of motion and their solutions

We develop a recursion procedure for solving the generalized Fokker-Planck equation for a system of three interacting one-mode boson fields including the proof of convergence. Approximate formulae for the quantum antinormal characteristic function and the corresponding quasidistribution are obtained for the whole system and as a consequence quantum fluctuations in single fields, correlations among them and various cases of occurrence of the anticorrelation effect are discussed including losses. Initial fields are assumed to be coherent or partly chaotic and it is shown that in some cases the lossy mechanism as well as if some of these fields are chaotic can support the occurrence of the anticorrelation effect. The most important cases are described by the model of the superposition of coherent and chaotic fields although some corrections to this model are also found.
