We present the first purely semiclassical calculation of the resonance spectrum in the Diamagnetic Kepler problem (DKP), a hydrogen atom in a constant magnetic field with $L_z =0$. The classical system is unbound and completely chaotic for…
The quantum kicked rotor (QKR) driven by $d$ incommensurate frequencies realizes the universality class of $d$-dimensional disordered metals. For $d>3$, the system exhibits an Anderson metal-insulator transition which has been observed…
Energy or quasienergy (QE) band spectra depending on two parameters may have a nontrivial topological characterization by Chern integers. Band spectra of 1D systems that are spanned by just one parameter, a Bloch phase, are topologically…

We study the double kicked top (DKT), which is an extension of the standard quantum kicked top (QKT) model. The model allows us to study the transition from time-reversal symmetric to broken time-reversal symmetric dynamics. Our…
The quantum resonances (QRs) of the kicked particle are studied in a most general framework by also considering {\em arbitrary} periodic kicking potentials. It is shown that QR can arise, in general, for {\em any rational} value of the…
The quantum kicked rotor (QKR) map is embedded into a continuous unitary transformation generated by a time-independent quasi-Hamiltonian. In some vicinity of a quantum resonance of order $q$, we relate the problem to the {\it regular}…

We investigate the classical chaotic diffusion of atoms subjected to {\em pairs} of closely spaced pulses (`kicks) from standing waves of light (the $2\delta$-KP). Recent experimental studies with cold atoms implied an underlying classical…
We study quantum particle dynamics in a box and driven by PT-symmetric, delta-kicking complex potential. Such dynamical characteristics as the average kinetic energy as function of time and quasi-energy at different values of the kicking…
We present a theory for the two kinds of dynamical quantum phase transitions, termed DPT-I and DPT-II, based on a minimal set of symmetry assumptions. In the special case of collective systems with infinite-range interactions, both are…
The quantum dynamics of atoms subjected to pairs of closely-spaced $\delta$-kicks from optical potentials are shown to be quite different from the well-known paradigm of quantum chaos, the singly-$\delta$-kicked system. We find the unitary…
The quantum dynamics of a periodically driven system, the delta-kicked accelerator, is investigated in the semiclassical and pseudo-classical regimes, where quantum accelerator modes are observed. We construct the evolution operator of this…
We consider classical models of the kicked rotor type, with piecewise linear kicking potentials designed so that momentum changes only by multiples of a given constant. Their dynamics display quasi-localization of momentum, or quadratic…
