Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Miami University, Physics.
Quantum chaos is a field of research that attempts to introduce chaos theory into quantum mechanics. There has already been a significant body of work on classically chaotic systems viewed through a quantum lens, so we looked at a spin 1/2 atom driven by a 3d chaotic magnetic field. We used mathematical tools such as Lyapunov exponents, Bloch spheres, and correlation functions to analyze the system. We found some mixed results and that it is likely more interesting to use a spin 1 atom.
