Chaotic dynamics and fractal structures in experiments with cold atoms

Abstract: We use tools from nonlinear dynamics to the detailed analysis of cold atom experiments. A powerful example is provided by the recent concept of basin entropy which allows to quantify the final state unpredictability that results from the complexity of the phase space geometry. We show here that this enables one to reliably infer the presence of fractal structures in phase space from direct measurements. We illustrate the method with numerical simulations in an experimental configuration made of two crossing la… Show more

“…However, a bigger N can be reached only with a smaller size of the square cells, which also have a minimum size to contain at least one of the N A states. To solve this issue, we follow the procedure outlined in [25], in which the square cells are randomly picked in the space of states through a Monte Carlo procedure, allowing us to increase the number of cells N as necessary. In our particular problem, we find that the final value for the basin entropy keeps constant for a number of cells larger than 3 × 10 5 , hence, in the three cases, we used N = 3.5 × 10 5 cells.…”

“…Following the procedure outlined in [22], once we know the positions of the libration points, we can determine their linear stability by means of the characteristic equation. To do so, we defined a dense, uniform sequence of 10 5 values of δ in the interval [0, 10] and numerically solved the system (8), thus determining the coordinates (x 0 , y 0 ) of the equilibrium points. The last step was to insert the coordinates of the equilibria into the characteristic equation and determine the nature of the four roots.…”
