Harmonic oscillator kicked by spin measurements: A Floquet-like system without a classical analog

Bento Montenegro, Nadja K. Bernardes, and Fernando Parisio

Phys. Rev. A 105, 052203 – Published 6 May 2022

QUICK OVERVIEW

In this beautiful work, we challenge the most accepted definition of quantum chaos by showing that an harmonic oscillator whose spin degree of freedom is subject to periodic quantum measurements behaves exactly like a classical Floquet system. With a little sweat I obtained closed and cute analytic solutions to everything.

An Alternative Approach to Open Quantum Systems

Montenegro, B., Master thesis

QUICK OVERVIEW

This is my Master thesis, where I start with a quick and didactic recap of quantum mechanics and open quantum systems, moving in the next chapter to the main results preceding my first article (HO kicked by measurements).
