Classical and quantum escape dynamics in the vicinity of hyperbolic fixed points — •Alexander Hempel, Jonas Stöber, and Arnd Bäcker — TU Dresden, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Dresden, Germany

For an ensemble of orbits started in the vicinity of an inverse hyperbolic fixed point in the area-preserving standard map we find a slow, non-exponential decay of the survival probability. It turns out that this is governed by the geometry of the stable and unstable manifolds which form a partial barrier enclosing a resonance zone. An analysis of transit times through the resonance zone using the lobe dynamics of the partial barrier, including re-entrance of orbits, explains the non-exponential decay. Quantum mechanically, coherent states follow the classical behavior for remarkably long times.
