Title: Quantum evaporation of classical breathers

Abstract

Here, we apply the recently discovered classical-quantum correspondence to study the quantum evaporation of breathers in an extended sine-Gordon model. We present numerical results for the decay rate of the breather as a function of the coupling strength in the model. This is a complete treatment of the backreaction of quantum radiation on the classical dynamics of oscillons.

Kink-antikink formation from an oscillation mode by sudden distortion of the evolution potential

Journal Article Carvalho, C S ; Perivolaropoulos, L - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We demonstrate numerically that an oscillation mode in 1+1 dimensions (e.g., a breather or an oscillon) can decay into a kink-antikink pair by a sudden distortion of the evolution potential which occurs within a certain time or space domain. In particular, we consider the transition of a sine-Gordon potential into a {phi}{sup 4} potential. The breather field configuration is assumed to initially evolve in a sine-Gordon potential with velocity v and oscillation frequency {omega}. We then consider two types of numerical experiments: (a) an abrupt transition of the potential to a {phi}{sup 4} form at t{sub 0}=0 over the wholemore »« less

Quantum breathers in a nonlinear lattice

Journal Article Wang, W Z ; Gammel, J T ; Bishop, A R ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We study nonlinear phonon excitations in a one-dimensional quantum nonlinear lattice model using numerical exact diagonalization. We find that multiphonon bound states exist as eigenstates which are natural counterparts of breather solutions of classical nonlinear systems. In a translationally invariant system, these quantum breather states form particlelike bands and are characterized by a finite correlation length. The dynamic structure factor has significant intensity for the breather states, with a corresponding quenching of the neighboring bands of multiphonon extended states. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Quantum breathers in nonlinear phonon and coupled electron-phonon systems

Conference Gammel, J T ; Bishop, A R ; Wang, Wen-Zheng ; ...

Nonlinear quantum phonon excitations are studied in 1D lattice models for both effective nonlinear phonon and coupled electron-phonon systems. Multi-phonon bound states exist which are eigenstates of the system Hamiltonian, and which are natural counterparts of breather solutions of classical nonlinear systems. These quantum breather states form particle-like bands and are characterized by a finite coherence length. Due to their structure and dynamics, quantum breathers have specific experimentally observable responses in many correlation functions. In the pure phonon model, the dynamic structure factor is found to have significant intensity for the breather states, with a corresponding quenching of the neighboringmore »« less

Discrete breathers in dissipative lattices

Journal Article Marin, J L ; Falo, F ; Martinez, P J ; ... - Physical Review E

We study the properties of discrete breathers, also known as intrinsic localized modes, in the one-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova lattice of oscillators subject to damping and external force. The system is studied in the whole range of values of the coupling parameter, from C=0 (uncoupled limit) up to values close to the continuum limit (forced and damped sine-Gordon model). As this parameter is varied, the existence of different bifurcations is investigated numerically. Using Floquet spectral analysis, we give a complete characterization of the most relevant bifurcations, and we find (spatial) symmetry-breaking bifurcations that are linked to breather mobility, just as it wasmore »« less

Signatures of discrete breathers in coherent state quantum dynamics

Journal Article Igumenshchev, Kirill ; Ovchinnikov, Misha ; Prezhdo, Oleg ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

In classical mechanics, discrete breathers (DBs) - a spatial time-periodic localization of energy - are predicted in a large variety of nonlinear systems. Motivated by a conceptual bridging of the DB phenomena in classical and quantum mechanical representations, we study their signatures in the dynamics of a quantum equivalent of a classical mechanical point in phase space - a coherent state. In contrast to the classical point that exhibits either delocalized or localized motion, the coherent state shows signatures of both localized and delocalized behavior. The transition from normal to local modes have different characteristics in quantum and classical perspectives.more »« less
