Abstract

I give certain analytical properties of quantum kicked rotators, both theoretic and observed from computation. I give an expression for the wave function between two successive impulses. An element of the transition matrix, the matrix that takes the wave function from one impulse to another, exponentially falls away from the main diagonal. The decay parameter is given for a few special cases of a periodic potential. Finally, the transition matrix is used to derive the time evolution of the energy for periodic cases and for fundamental resonances. The empirical expressions of Dorizzi et al. are compatible with our analytical results.
