Estudamos também a incidência de caos e sua variação em função dos parâmetros do sistema. Confirmamos os indícios de que no limite massivo do oscilador (m ® ¥ ) o emaranhamento do estado fundamental do sistema como função do seu parâmetro crítico apresenta uma mudançã não suave no seu comportamento quando esse parâmetro atinge o valor crítico. Confirmamos também que para esse mesmo valor crítico o análogo clássico apresenta uma bifurcação de alguns de seus pontos fixos. Sobre a possível influência do caos no emaranhamento, pudemos observar que o aparecimento de região caótica substancial no modelo clássico ocorre quando o parâmetro crítico está nas vizinhanças do valor crítico. A análise da função de Husimi no estado fundamental nos permitiu estabelecer dois aspectos: (i) uma conexão entre a localização do máximo desta função e a localização dos pontos fixos no espaço de fase, comprovando a ocorrência da bifurcaçãco no estado quãntico nesta representação; (ii) verificar que de fato há uma aproximação do limite clássico do oscilador quando aumentamos o parâmetro do modelo associado à quebra de degenerescência das energias do sistema. / Abstract: In this work we realize a study of entanglement for the Jahn-Teller E Ä b model, wich describes the interaction of a qubit with an oscillator mode, and relate it with the bifurcation of the fixed point of the classical analogue of the model. We also study qualitatively the ocurrence of chaos and its variation as a function of the parameters of the system. We have confirmed the signs that in the massive limit of the oscillator ( m ® ¥ ) the entanglement of the fundamental state of the system presents a non-smooth change (as a function of its critical parameter) in its behavior as this parameter attains the critical value. We also confirm that at this same critical value the classical analogue presents a bifurcation of some of its fixed points. Concerning the possible influence of chaos on the entanglement, we have been able to see the appearance of a substantial chaotic region in the classical phase space when the critical parameter is in the vici-nity of its critical value. The analysis of the Husimi function in the fundamental state allowed us to establish two things: (i) a connection between the localization of the maximum of this function and the localization of the fixed points in the phase space, confirming the occurrence of the bifurcation in the quantum state in this representation; (ii) verification that in fact the classical limit of the oscillator is approached when we increase the energy degeneracy breaking parameter of the system. / Mestrado / Física / Mestre em Física

The dynamics of (bio) chemical reaction networks have been studied by different methods. Among these methods, the chemical reaction network theory has been proven to successfully predicate important qualitative properties, such as the existence of the steady state and the asymptotic behavior of the steady state. However, a constructive approach to the steady state locus has not been presented. In this thesis, with the help of toric geometry, we propose a generic strategy towards this question. This theory is applied to (bio)nano particle configurations. We also investigate Hopf bifurcation surfaces of various dynamical systems.
