Abstract

The quantum kicked rotor (QKR) model is a prototypical system in the research of quantum chaos. In a spin-1/21/2 QKR, tuning the effective Planck parameter realizes a series of transitions between dynamical localization phases, which closely resembles the integer quantum Hall (IQH) effect and the plateau transitions. In this work, we devise and apply the finite-size scaling analysis to the transitions in the spin-1/21/2 QKR model. We obtain an estimate of the critical exponent at the transition point, ν=2.62(9)\nu=2.62(9), which is consistent with the IQH plateau transition universality class. We also give a precise estimate of the universal diffusion rate at the metallic critical state, σ=0.3253(12)\sigma^{*}=0.3253(12).
