RESUMO
A periodically driven particle in an infinite square well is shown to exhibit quantum localization due to a continuous line of periodic orbits in the classical system. Individual Floquet eigenstates localized along this line of periodic orbits are identified. The enhanced localization persists for field strengths beyond that at which the continuous line of orbits is destroyed in the classical dynamics. These results may be relevant to experiments involving trapping potentials with flat regions.
RESUMO
A metastable resonance state of the periodically driven Gaussian potential well is shown to be scarred on a single unstable periodic orbit of the classical motion. The photodetachment rate of this quantum state is strongly correlated with the Lyapunov exponent of the unstable periodic orbit over a wide range of driving field strengths.
