    Fluctuations and Transients in Quantum-Resonant Evolution

    Full text link
    The quantum-resonant evolution of the mean kinetic energy (MKE) of the kicked particle is studied in detail on different time scales for {\em general} kicking potentials. It is shown that the asymptotic time behavior of a wave-packet MKE is typically a linear growth with bounded fluctuations having a simple number-theoretical origin. For a large class of wave packets, the MKE is shown to be exactly the superposition of its asymptotic behavior and transient logarithmic corrections. Both fluctuations and transients can be significant for not too large times but they may vanish identically under some conditions. In the case of incoherent mixtures of plane waves, it is shown that the MKE never exhibits asymptotic fluctuations but transients usually occur.Comment: REVTEX, 12 page

    Recurrent proofs of the irrationality of certain trigonometric values

    Full text link
    We use recurrences of integrals to give new and elementary proofs of the irrationality of pi, tan(r) for all nonzero rational r, and cos(r) for all nonzero rational r^2. Immediate consequences to other values of the elementary transcendental functions are also discussed
