Resonance- and Chaos-Assisted Tunneling in Mixed Regular-Chaotic Systems
Resonance- and Chaos-Assisted Tunneling in Mixed Regular-Chaotic Systems
We present evidence that nonlinear resonances govern the tunneling process between symmetry-related islands of regular motion in mixed regular-chaotic systems.In a similar way as for near-integrable tunneling, such resonances induce couplings between regular states within the islands and states that are supported by the chaotic sea. On the basis of …
