Quantum to classical transition induced by a classically small influence |
(a) Time dependence of the classical (red line) mean energy and quantum mean energy (black lines) of particle 1. From top to bottom, black solid lines correspond to ℏeff = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05, respectively. The parameters are K1 = 1.8, K2 = 0, m = 0.001, ε = 2, λ = 10, and L = π. For comparison, the dashed line (in blue) denotes the quantum mean energy of the unperturbed case, i.e., ε = 0 with K = 1.8 and ℏeff = 0.01. (b) Momentum distribution at the time t = 500 with ℏeff = 0.01 (blue curve) and 0.05 (black curve). Dash-dotted line (in red) indicates the fitting function of the Gaussian form |ψ1(p)|2∝ e−p2/ζ. Dashed line (in red) denotes the exponential fitting |ψ1(p)|2∝ e−|p|/ξ. |
