Non-Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) systems, when perturbed by weak time-dependent
fields, offer a fast route to classical chaos through an abrupt breaking of invariant phase …

Experimental observation of quantum chaos in a beam of light

GB Lemos, RM Gomes, SP Walborn… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
The manner in which unpredictable chaotic dynamics manifests itself in quantum mechanics
is a key question in the field of quantum chaos. Indeed, very distinct quantum features can …

Model of the Influence of an External Magnetic Field on the Gain of Terahertz Radiation<? format?> from Semiconductor Superlattices
