Abstract

A procedure to enhance the quantum--classical correspondence even in situations far from the classical limit is proposed. It is based on controlling the quantum transport between classical regions using the capability to synthesize arbitrary motional states in ion traps. Quantum barriers and passages to transport can be created selecting the relevant frequencies. This technique is then applied to stabilize the quantum motion onto classical structures or alter the dynamical tunneling in nonintegrable systems.
