Published: July 2011

In this work we investigate the inverse of the celebrated Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture. Using two inversion methods we compute a one-dimensional potential whose lowest N eigenvalues obey random matrix statistics. Our numerical results indicate that in the asymptotic limit N→∞ the solution is nowhere differentiable and most probably nowhere continuous. Thus such a counterexample does not exist.

Novel patterns in discrete Ikeda map: Quint points and complex non-quantum chirality.

Chaos

January 2025

School of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Science Road 100, 450001 Zhengzhou, China.

In this paper, the complex and dynamically rich distribution of stable phases in the well-known discrete Ikeda map is studied in detail. The unfolding patterns of these stable phases are described through three complementary stability diagrams: the Lyapunov stability diagram, the isoperiod stability diagram, and the isospike stability diagram. The adding-doubling complexification cascade and fascinating non-quantum chiral pairs are discovered, marking the first report of such structures in discrete mapping.

Reinforcement Learning Optimization of the Charging of a Dicke Quantum Battery.

Phys Rev Lett

Freie Universität Berlin, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Arnimallee 6, 14195 Berlin, Germany.

Quantum batteries are energy-storing devices, governed by quantum mechanics, that promise high charging performance thanks to collective effects. Because of its experimental feasibility, the Dicke battery-which comprises N two-level systems coupled to a common photon mode-is one of the most promising designs for quantum batteries. However, the chaotic nature of the model severely hinders the extractable energy (ergotropy).

Breakdown of the Quantum Distinction of Regular and Chaotic Classical Dynamics in Dissipative Systems.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, C.P. 04510 Mexico City, Mexico.

Quantum chaos has recently received increasing attention due to its relationship with experimental and theoretical studies of nonequilibrium quantum dynamics, thermalization, and the scrambling of quantum information. In an isolated system, quantum chaos refers to properties of the spectrum that emerge when the classical counterpart of the system is chaotic. However, despite experimental progress leading to longer coherence times, interactions with an environment can never be neglected, which calls for a definition of quantum chaos in dissipative systems.

"Assembly Theory" in life-origin models: A critical review.

Biosystems

ProtoBioCybernetics & Protocellular Metabolomics, The Gene Emergence Project, The Origin of Life Science Foundation, Inc, USA. Electronic address:

Any homeostatic protometabolism would have required orchestration of disparate biochemical pathways into integrated circuits. Extraordinarily specific molecular assemblies were also required at the right time and place. Assembly Theory conflated with its cousins-Complexity Theory, Chaos theory, Quantum Mechanics, Irreversible Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics and Molecular Evolution theory- collectively have great naturalistic appeal in hopes of their providing the needed exquisite steering and controls.

We study dynamical localization in an ultracold atom confined in an optical lattice that is simultaneously shaken by two competing pulsatile modulations with different amplitudes, periods, and waveforms. The effects of finite-width time pulses, modulation waveforms, and commensurable and incommensurable driving periods are investigated. We describe a particularly complex scenario and conclude that dynamical localization can survive, or even increase, when a periodic modulation is replaced by a quasiperiodic one of equal amplitude.
