Description

Recent experiments with cold atoms provide a significant step toward a better understanding of tunneling when irregular dynamics is present at the classical level. In this paper, we lay out numerical studies that shed light on the previous experiments and help to clarify the underlying physics. This study also provides guidelines for future experiments
