Can a periodically driven particle resist laser cooling and noise?

Studying a single atomic ion confined in a time-dependent periodic anharmonic potential, we find large amplitude trajectories stable for millions of oscillation periods in the presence of stochastic laser cooling. Accounting for the complexity of the laser cooling process we calculate the details of...
