Abstract :
A theoretical study of the interaction between a modulated pump beam and a quantum-degenerate gas (e.g. Bose-Einstein Condensate) in a ring cavity will be described and the influence of the quantum nature of the atoms on the atom-cavity interaction will be investigated. This analysis predicts that phenomena such as dynamical localisation i.e. quantum suppression of classical chaos, may be observable via the evolution of the cavity field intensity.
