542 A. Buchleitner et al. / Physics Reports 368 (2002) 409–547 9. Conclusions In this report, we have shown that novel and highly robust eigenstates of periodically driven quantum systems—non-dispersive wave packets—are born out of classically mixed regular–chaotic dynamics. As much as a mixed phase space is generic for classical Hamiltonian systems, non-dispersive wave packets are a generic manifestation thereof on the quantum level, given a su ciently high density of states (needed to resolve nite-size phase space structures). While we described their semiclassical properties and their experimental preparation, manipulation, and identi cation during the largest part of this report for a speci c system—atomic Rydberg states driven by a microwave eld—it is clear from our approach that such “quantum particles” can be anchored to any non-linear resonance between a periodic drive and a periodic trajectory of a Hamiltonian system. As an alternative example, we have brie y touched upon the atomic realization of the gravitational bouncer, though many other realizations in simple quantum optical or atomic and molecular systems can be thought of. Let us only mention unharmonic traps for ions, atoms, or BEC condensates, periodically kicked atoms [229], as well as molecular dynamics [230,231] on adiabatic potential surfaces (the driven frozen planet brie y discussed in Section 6.2 may be conceived as opening a perspective in this direction). Nontheless, atomic Rydberg states remain arguably the best objects to study the fundamental properties of non-dispersive wave packets as the realization of Schrodinger’s dream [2]. On one hand, they are microscopic realizations of the Keplerian motion and of Bohr’s orbitals using a well understood non-linear dynamical system. On the other hand, they possess the essential complication which open quantum systems add to bounded Hamiltonian dynamics—the driving-induced, coherent coupling to the atomic continuum of free electronic states. On top of that, all these features can be controlled in real laboratory experiments, and we might actually dream of probing the characteristic properties of non-dispersive wave packets on single, trapped atoms or ions, using novel experimental approaches yet to come. Let us nally dare to speculate on the potential use of non-dispersive wave-packets in coherent control: given their spectacular robustness— which we abundantly illustrated in this report—it is clear that they provide a means to store and to “ship” quantum probability densities in and across phase space, e.g., under adiabatic changes of the driving eld polarization and=or of the strength or orientation of additional static elds. Given the recent advances in coherent control of molecular reactions employing laser elds [230]—which so far do not explore the unique perspectives of non-linear dynamics—it looks like a promising (and challenging) program to systematically study non-dispersive wave packets in molecular reaction dynamics.
