Abstract

The possible signature of chaos in Rydberg atoms has been studied in terms of the dynamic profiles of the chemical hardness (η), polarizability (α), and uncertainty product (Vps). A hydrogen atom in the electronic ground state (n = 1) and in an excited electronic state (n = 15) behaves differently when placed in both one- and two-color laser pulses. Temporal evolution of η, α, and Vps for these two cases (n = 1 and n = 15) show marked differences. It appears that a larger Vps and a smaller η value signal a chaotic behavior.
