Physical systems are often neither completely closed nor completely open, but instead they are best described by dynamical systems with partial escape or absorption. In this paper we introduce classical measures that explain the main…
An initial coherent state is propagated exactly by a kicked quantum Hamiltonian and its associated classical stroboscopic map. The classical trajectories within the initial state are regular for low kicking strengths, then bifurcate and…
