Physics of Excited Atoms and Discharge Dynamics

提出在由一个频率或两个频率组成的强电磁场中，不加或加随机分量（噪声）来研究简单原子氢和氦。它的目标是理解周期性驱动的量子系统，其经典对应物是混沌的，从而解决量子混沌跨学科领域的问题。新的实验将详细研究加入强振荡微波场的随机成分（噪声）的影响。一项新的研究计划将研究低压，直流偏置，射频气体放电作为非线性动力系统的详细行为。

Koch It is proposed to study simple atoms, hydrogen and helium, in strong electromagnetic fields consisting of one frequency or two frequencies, without or with added stochastic components (noise). Its objective is to understand periodically driven quantal systems whose classical counterpart is chaotic, thus addressing questions in the interdisciplinary area of quantum chaos. New experiments will make a detailed investigation into the effect of stochastic components (noise) added to the strong oscillatory microwave fields. A new program of research will investigate the detailed behavior of low-pressure, dc-biased, radio-frequency gas discharges as a nonlinear dynamical system.
