Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 61 - 64 (1999)Measurement-Induced Quantum Diffusion
P. Facchi1,2, S. Pascazio1,2, and A. Scardicchio1 Received 11 January 1999 The dynamics of a “kicked” quantum system undergoing repeated measurements of momentum is investigated. A diffusive behavior is obtained even when the dynamics of the classical counterpart is not chaotic. The diffusion coefficient is explicitly computed for a large class of Hamiltonians and compared to the classical case. ©1999 The American Physical Society
