Abstract
Quantum chaotic kicked top model is implemented experimentally in a two-qubit system comprising of a pair of spin-1/2 nuclei using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The essential nonlinear interaction was realized using indirect spin-spin coupling, while the linear kicks were realized using radio-frequency pulses. After a variable number of kicks, quantum state tomography was employed to reconstruct the single-qubit reduced density matrices, using which we could extract von Neumann entropies and Husimi distributions. These measures enabled the study of correspondence with classical phase space as well as probing distinct features of quantum chaos, such as symmetries and temporal periodicity in the two-qubit kicked top.
