Quantum Carpets: a Probe to Identify Wave-Packet Fractional Revivals

Abstract: Quantum carpets− in position and momentum space− woven by the self-interference of de Broglie wave of an atom or an electron, trapped in an infinitely deep potential well, are explained. The recurrence of self-similar structures in designs of these carpets mimics the phenomena of quantum revivals and fractional revivals. We identify fractional revivals of various order by means of these space-time and momentum-time interference patterns.2

“…Moreover, as discussed in [27,51,57,58], the present constructed Gazeau-Klauder coherent states (46) must exhibit the phenomena of quantum revivals and fractional revivals which can be explored by means of the autocorrelation function given as For technical reasons, we arbitrary escape these aspects of the study and we hope to report elsewhere. We have etablished the nonclassicality nature of the GKCS through the Mandel parameter and through the negavite value of the Wigner function of GKECs.…”

“…Moreover, in order to see an explicit dependence of the mean excitation quantum number n 0 on the system parameters (J and υ) and to see the nature of the weighting distribution, we compute the corresponding mean and the variance, respectively, defined in Eqs. (26) and (28). For the weighting distribution, given in Eq.…”

“…These phenomena are very important in many areas of physics such as quantum optics [20,21], coherence theory [22], atomic physics [23], quantum chaos [24][25][26]. The phenomena have been studied with great details during last two decades [26][27][28][29].…”

“…A conventional approach to studying fractional revivals is to analyze the autocorrelation function [46], which measures the overlap of the time-evolved wave packet onto the initial wave packet. Nonetheless, some other measures, such as the time-evolution of probability density [58] and information entropy [51,59] have also been introduced in this context. In this letter, we are aimed to explore the phenomenon of wave-packet fractional revivals in PDM systems, which has not been much discussed, except in some recent studies [30,53,59,60].…”
