Periodic orbits of a given winding ratio are found to exist within wedge-shaped regions in the phase diagrams, which are analogous to the Arnol'd tongues which have been extensively studied for a variety of dynamical systems, mostly dissipative ones. A rich variety of bifurcations of various types are observed, as well as period doubling cascades. Stability of periodic orbits is analyzed in detail.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-04-02T13:19:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "accelerator modes", "periodic orbits", "phase diagram", "quantum dynamics", "cold atoms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
