The kicked rotator, also spelled as kicked rotor, is a prototype model for chaos and quantum chaos studies. It describes a particle that is constrained to move on a ring (equivalently: a rotating stick). The particle is kicked periodically by an homogeneous field (equivalently: the gravitation is switched on periodically in short pulses). The model is described by the Hamiltonian : Where is the Dirac delta function, is the angular position (for example, on a ring), taken modulo , is the momentum, and is the kicking strength. Its dynamics are described by the standard map : With the caveat that is not periodic, as it is in the standard map. See more details and references on the standard map here, or better in the associated (Scholarpedia entry ). ==Main properties (classical)== In the classical analysis, if the kicks are strong enough, , the system is chaotic and has a positive Maximal Lyapunov exponent (MLE). The averaged diffusion of the momentum-squared is a useful parameter in characterizing the delocalization of nearby trajectories. The inductive result of the standard map yields the following equation for momentum〔Y. Zheng, D.H. Kobe, Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 28, 385 (2006)〕 : The diffusion can then be calculated by squaring the difference in momentum after the kick and the initial momentum, and then averaging, yielding : In the chaotic domain, the momenta at different time points may be anywhere from entirely uncorrelated to highly correlated. If they are assumed uncorrelated due to the quasi-random behaviour, the sum involving the cross-terms is neglected. In this limit, since the first term is a sum of terms all equalling , the momentum diffusion becomes . However, if the momenta at different time points are assumed highly correlated, the sum involving the cross-terms is not neglected, and so it contributes more terms equalling . Altogether, there are terms to sum, all of the form . This gives an upper bound on the momentum diffusion of . Therefore, in the chaotic domain, the momentum diffusion is between : That is, the momentum diffusion in the chaotic domain has somewhere between a linear and a quadratic dependence on the number of kicks. An exact expression for can be obtained in principle by calculating the sums explicitly for an ensemble of trajectories. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kicked rotator」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
