Researchers analyzed the Gamma Model—a solvable nonlinear quantum oscillator—using Loschmidt Echo (overlap dynamics) to probe its classical behavior despite non-linear dynamics. Their findings reveal integrable behavior contrary to chaos expectations. The time-averaged overlap function decays inversely with the effective Hilbert space for non-periodic cases, linking quantum dynamics to initial state complexity. Two distinct stationary regimes emerged in overlap mean and variance measurements. Non-classicality was assessed via Wigner-based "roughness," showing two stationary regimes. For large Hilbert spaces, roughness depends more on system size than initial conditions, challenging traditional state-dependent classicality assumptions. The Wigner function’s non-diagonal terms dominate, while the overlap operator’s contributions favor diagonal terms, contrasting with density matrix behavior and offering new insights into quantum-classical transitions. This work bridges quantum chaos theory and integrable systems, providing analytical tools to distinguish classical behavior in nonlinear oscillators, with implications for quantum simulation and control.

Soares and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The classicality of the Gamma Model, an analytically solvable quantum oscillator with non-linear dynamics, is investigated using the overlap dynamics, also known as the Loschmidt Echo, and roughness, a classicality measure based on the Wigner representation of a state. Though the overlap dynamics would indicate a chaotic regime, here the model is integrable. The time mean of the overlap function decays inversely with the effective Hilbert space occupied by the initial state for the non-periodic case. Two different stationary regimes were found for the overlap mean and overlap variance. The state non-classicality was investigated using the roughness measure, and its mean also has two stationary regimes. For large effective Hilbert space, the roughness time mean depends more on the effective space than the initial state. While the Wigner function is dominated by the non-diagonal terms, the overlap operator has some contribution on each part, but it is more affected by the diagonal terms than the density matrix.
