An Introduction to Quantum Chaos
نویسنده
چکیده
Nonlinear dynamics (“chaos theory”) and quantum mechanics are two of the scientific triumphs of the 20th century. The former lies at the heart of the modern interdisciplinary approach to science, whereas the latter has revolutionized physics. Both chaos theory and quantum mechanics have achieved a fairly large level of glamour in the eyes of the general public. The study of quantum chaos encompasses the application of dynamical systems theory in the quantum regime. In the present article, we give a brief review of the origin and fundamentals of both quantum mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. We recount the birth of dynamical systems theory and contrast chaotic

Investigation of strong force influence on behavior of nuclear energy levels in Calcium and Titanium isotopes: Based on quantum chaos theory
The atomic nucleus is a complex many-body system that consists of two types of fermion (neutron and proton). They are in the strong interaction. The statistical properties of energy levels and influence of strong force between these fermions are well described by random matrix theory. Resonance of energy levels depends on the Hamiltonian symmetry placed in one of the GOE, GUE and GSE ensembles ...
متن کاملQuantum and Arithmetical Chaos
The lectures are centered around three selected topics of quantum chaos: the Selberg trace formula, the two-point spectral correlation functions of Riemann zeta function zeros, and of the Laplace–Beltrami operator for the modular group. The lectures cover a wide range of quantum chaos applications and can serve as a non-formal introduction to mathematical methods of quantum chaos.
متن کاملQuantum Graphs: Applications to Quantum Chaos and Universal Spectral Statistics
During the last years quantum graphs have become a paradigm of quantum chaos with applications from spectral statistics to chaotic scattering and wave function statistics. In the first part of this review we give a detailed introduction to the spectral theory of quantum graphs and discuss exact trace formulae for the spectrum and the quantum-to-classical correspondence. The second part of this ...
متن کاملAn introduction to quantum equidistribution
These notes contain crash courses on classical and quantum mechanics and on semi-classical analysis as well as a short introduction to one issue in quantum chaos: the semi-classical eigenfunction behaviour for quantum systems having an ergodic classical limit. The emphasis is on explaining the conceptual and structural similarities between the ways in which this question arises in the study of ...
متن کاملExperimental and theoretical aspects of quantum chaos A SOCRATES Lecture Course at CAMTP, University of Maribor, Slovenia
In this series of lectures an introduction into quantum chaos is presented. The discussion will be kept on an elementary level, and theory will be illustrated, wherever possible, by experimental or numerical examples. Microwave billiards will play a major role in this respect. The lectures start with a presentation of the various types of billiard experiments. Mesoscopic systems are discussed a...
