Non-recurrent behaviour in quantum dynamics
We study the motion of a quantum rotator under an external periodic perturbation. For the resonant case, i.e. when the frequency of driving pulses is rationally connected with the frequencies of the free rotator, the quasi-energy spectrum is known to be continuous. We prove that for a generic choice of the potential there is a non-empty set of non-resonant values of the external frequency such that the quasi-energy spectrum still has a continuous component.
