Reversible destruction of dynamical localization.

Dynamical localization is a localization phenomenon taking place, for example, in the quantum periodically driven kicked rotor. It is due to subtle quantum destructive interferences and is thus of intrinsic quantum origin. It has been shown that deviation from strict periodicity in the driving rapidly destroys dynamical localization. We report experimental results showing that this destruction is partially reversible when the deterministic perturbation that destroyed it is slowly reversed. We also provide an explanation for the partial character of the reversibility.

Self-similarities in the frequency-amplitude space of a loss-modulated CO2 laser.

We show the standard two-level continuous-time model of loss-modulated CO2 lasers to display the same regular network of self-similar stability islands known so far to be typically present only in discrete-time models based on mappings. Our results suggest that the two-parameter space of class B laser models and that of a certain class of discrete mappings could be isomorphic.

Classical chaos with Bose-Einstein condensates in tilted optical lattices.

A widely accepted definition of "quantum chaos" is "the behavior of a quantum system whose classical limit is chaotic." The dynamics of quantum-chaotic systems is nevertheless very different from that of their classical counterparts. A fundamental reason for that is the linearity of Schrödinger equation. In this paper, we study the quantum dynamics of an ultracold quantum degenerate gas in a tilted optical lattice and show that it displays features very close to classical chaos. We show that its phase space is organized according to the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem.

Observation of sub-Fourier resonances in a quantum-chaotic system.

We experimentally show that the response of a quantum-chaotic system can display resonance lines sharper than the inverse of the excitation duration. This allows us to discriminate two neighboring frequencies with a resolution nearly 40 times better than the limit set by the Fourier inequality. Furthermore, numerical studies indicate that there is no limit, but the loss of signal, to this resolution, opening ways for the development of sub-Fourier quantum-chaotic signal processing.
