A PT-Symmetric Kicked Rotor — •Joseph Hall and Eva-Maria Graefe — Imperial College, London, UK

PT-symmetric quantum mechanics has attracted a large amount of research interest over the last decade. Thus far most theoretical investigations have focused on simple model systems, which are open counterparts of integrable and often even analytically solvable systems. However little investigation has been undertaken into the properties of PT-symmetric chaotic systems. Here we investigate this phenomenon for the example of a PT-symmetric generalisation of the kicked rotor. We present signatures of chaos arising in both the classical and quantum descriptions of the system.
