Classical chaos is marked by an extreme sensitivity to initial conditions, where infinitesimally close trajectories separate exponentially over time. In quantum mechanics, however, unitary evolution and the uncertainty principle preclude…
The theory of uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems was initiated in the 1960's (though its roots stretch far back into the 19th century) by S. Smale, his students and collaborators, in the west, and D. Anosov, Ya. Sinai, V. Arnold, in the…
Characterizing accurately chaotic behaviors is not a trivial problem and must allow to determine the properties that two given chaotic invariant sets share or not. The underlying problem is the classification of chaotic regimes, and their…
We study the evolution of a system of interacting ultracold bosons, which presents nonlinear, chaotic, behaviors in the limit of very large number of particles. Using the spectral entropy as an indicator of chaos and three different…
The vast majority of dynamical systems in classical physics are chaotic and exhibit the butterfly effect: a minute change in initial conditions can soon have exponentially large effects elsewhere. But this phenomenon is difficult to…
We numerically study quantum chaos properties of long-range XXZ dipolar Hamiltonian spin systems. Two geometries are considered: (i) an open chain with 19 spins, (ii) a face-centered cubic lattice with 14 spins. Energy level-spacing…
A new type of chaos called laminar chaos was found in singularly perturbed dynamical systems with periodic time-varying delay [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 084102 (2018)]. It is characterized by nearly constant laminar phases, which are…
In this article, we explore dynamical aspects of Out-of-Time-Order correlators (OTOCs) for critical quenches, in which an initial non-trivial state evolves with a CFT-Hamiltonian. At sufficiently large time, global critical quenches exhibit…
I propose that stiffness may be defined and quantified for nonlinear systems using Lyapunov exponents, and demonstrate the relationship that exists between stiffness and the fractal dimension of a strange attractor: that stiff chaos is thin…
A two-dimensional system of non-locally coupled complex Ginzburg-Landau oscillators is investigated numerically for the first time. As already known for the one-dimensional case, the system exhibits anomalous spatio-temporal chaos…
A particular example of chaos can be conceived in the interaction of non-linear oscillator with a harmonic gravitational wave. When we replace the linear potential forces by the therm SIN(x), the type of solution becomes subject to external…
The first part of this paper defines recursive interactions by means of logistic functions and derives a general result on the way interacting systems evolve in attractors. It also defines the notion of coevolution trajectory and presents a…
We retrace the first steps towards understanding neutrinos, particles predicted by Pauli in 1930 to avoid a supposed violation of time-translation symmetry. Despite the tendency to reduce the whole story to his intuition and the skill of…
Most classical dynamical systems are chaotic. The trajectories of two identical systems prepared in infinitesimally different initial conditions diverge exponentially with time. Quantum systems, instead, exhibit quasi-periodicity due to…
We analyze the origin and properties of the chaotic dynamics of two atomic ensembles in a driven-dissipative experimental setup, where they are collectively damped by a bad cavity mode and incoherently pumped by a Raman laser. Starting from…
When Robert Brown first observed colloidal pollen grains in water he inaccurately concluded that their motion arose "neither from currents in the fluid, nor from its gradual evaporation, but belonged to the particle itself". In this work we…
Lorenz attractors are important objects in the modern theory of chaos. The reason from one side is that they are met in various natural applications (fluid dynamics, mechanics, laser dynamics, etc.). At the same time, Lorenz attractors are…
Chaos and oscillations continue to capture the interest of both the scientific and public domains. Yet despite the importance of these qualitative features, most attempts at constructing mathematical models of such phenomena have taken an…
The theory of the nonlinear Hall effect has been established by I. Sodemann and L. Fu [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 216806 (2015)] in a semiclassical framework: therein, the effect appears as a geometrical property of Bloch electrons, originating…
We use results on Virasoro conformal blocks to study chaotic dynamics in CFT$_2$ at large central charge c. The Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L$, which is a diagnostic for the early onset of chaos, receives $1/c$ corrections that may be…
