Abstract

We investigate classical-quantum correspondence for kicked Harper model for extremely small values of the Planck constant ℏ. In the asymmetric case a pure quantum state shows clear signature of classical diffusive as well as super diffusive transitions asymptotically independent of ℏ. However, for the symmetric case, the ℏ independent behavior occurs only for renormalized parameter K=K/(2ℏ) with intriguing features such as a sharp transition from integrable to non-integrable transport at K=π/2, a series of transitions at multiples of π and periodicity of the transmission probability. These results add new puzzles to the frontiers of quantum chaos.
