Abstract:
The classical and quantum irregular spin dynamics of atomic spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice, where light-induced and static magnetic dipole-dipole interactions originate the interplay of the condensate at each site, are investigated. Classical-quantum correspondence in the large-spin limit is studied. Quantum chaotic features are studied through analysis of the irregular spectrum and time evolution of the Shannon entropy of wave packets. We show how the optical lattice strength influences the system dynamics, and is responsible for a transition from regular to irregular bahavior.
