Quantum Resonances of Kicked Rotor and SU(q) group


Abstract in English

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} motion along a circle in a $(q^2-1)$-component inhomogeneous magnetic field of a quantum particle with $q$ intrinsic degrees of freedom described by the $SU(q)$ group. This motion is in parallel with the classical phase oscillations near a non-linear resonance.
