(a) Expansion coefficients
of the 3D atomic initial state
in the Floquet eigenstates

. (Qualitatively similar results are obtained for the one-dimensional model atom, as well as for microwave driven alkali Rydberg states [

(plusses),
(crosses),
(diamonds clustered along the diagonal) of a 1D Anderson model of sample length
(uniformly distributed on-site potentials
with
, constant coupling
, and an absorbing boundary at one end, introduced by adding an imaginary part
to the on-site potential at
; results for 10 realizations of the potential are gathered together). Only in the special case of the initial state placed right at the edge
of the sample is there a one-to-one relation between decay rates and expansion coefficients.
