We explored survival probability fluctuations in open quantum systems. Results show these fluctuations exhibit a fractal structure, linked to classical survival probability decay.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistical physics
  • Dynamical systems

Background:

  • Open quantum systems exhibit complex dynamics.
  • Survival probability fluctuations are key indicators of system behavior.
  • Classical maps with mixed phase spaces present challenges in predictability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nature of survival probability fluctuations in an open quantum system.
  • To provide numerical evidence for theoretical predictions regarding these fluctuations.
  • To establish a quantitative relationship between quantum fluctuations and classical dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations of an open quantum system.
  • Analysis of survival probability.
  • Characterization of fractal structures in fluctuations.

  • Comparison with classical survival probability decay.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed fluctuations in survival probability.
    • Demonstrated a fractal structure in these fluctuations.
    • Established a quantitative link between fractal dimension and algebraic decay.
    • Provided the first numerical support for theoretical predictions.

    Conclusions:

    • Survival probability fluctuations in this system possess a fractal nature.
    • The fractal structure is quantitatively related to classical survival probability decay.
    • Numerical results align with theoretical predictions for open quantum systems.
