Recently it was found that the dynamics in a Heisenberg spin-chain subjectedto a sequence of periodic pulses from an external, parabolic, magnetic fieldcan have a close correspondence with the quantum kicked rotor (QKR). The QKR isa key paradigm of quantum chaos; it has as its classical limit the well-knownStandard Map. It was found that a single spin excitation could be convertedinto a pair of non-dispersive, counter-propagating spin coherent statesequivalent to the accelerator modes of the Standard Map. Here we consider howother types of quantum chaotic systems such as a double-kicked quantum rotor ora quantum rotor with a double-well potential might be realized with spinchains; we discuss the possibilities regarding manipulation of the one-magnonspin waves.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures.
