Energy growth in a randomly kicked quantum rotator

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

It is proved that the expectation value of the kinetic energy of a quantum rotator subjected to an aperiodic δ-like perturbation is unbounded in time. Estimates for the rate of growth of the (ensemble) averaged expectation value are given.
