Abstract:
A periodically driven particle in an infinite square well is shown to exhibit quantum localization due to a continuous line of periodic orbits in the classical system. Individual Floquet eigenstates localized along this line of periodic orbits are identified. The enhanced localization persists for field strengths beyond that at which the continuous line of orbits is destroyed in the classical dynamics. These results may be relevant to experiments involving trapping potentials with flat regions.

Construction of Root Locus
For positive gain values, the root locus exists on the real axis to the left of an odd number of finite open-loop poles or zeros. The root locus starts at the open-loop poles and traces the paths of the closed-loop poles as the gain increases.
