Web-assisted tunneling in the kicked harmonic oscillator

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

We show that heating of harmonically trapped ions by periodic delta kicks is dramatically enhanced at isolated values of the Lamb-Dicke parameter. At these values, quasienergy eigenstates localized on island structures undergo avoided crossings with extended web-states.
