Semiclassical limit and quantum chaos
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present the field on which R. Rammal was working in the last moments of his life : quantum chaos. The behavior of various distributions is investigated numerically for different planar billiards in presence of a magnetic field or not. We find exponential laws for the distributions of the trajectory lengths, of the algebraic areas, and of the number of boundary reflections. These results support the conjecture that the signature of the classical chaotic scattering in the quantum description is the appearance of fluctuations of the S-matrix (or conductance for ballistic conductors) in the semiclassical limit.

Geometrical theory of diffraction and spectral statistics
We investigate the influence of diffraction on the statistics of energy levels in quantum systems with a chaotic classical limit. By applying the geometrical theory of diffraction we show that diffraction on singularities of the potential can lead to modifications in semiclassical approximations for spectral statistics that persist in the semiclassical limit ~ → 0. This result is obtained by de...
متن کاملParametric Spectral Correlations
We consider quantum systems with a chaotic classical limit that depend on an external parameter, and study correlations between the spectra at different parameter values. In particular, we consider the parametric spectral form factor K(τ, x) which depends on a scaled parameter difference x. For parameter variations that do not change the symmetry of the system we show by using semiclassical per...
متن کاملSpectral statistics in chaotic systems with a point interaction
We consider quantum systems with a chaotic classical limit that are perturbed by a point-like scatterer. The spectral form factor K(τ) for these systems is evaluated semiclassically in terms of periodic and diffractive orbits. It is shown for order τ 2 and τ 3 that off-diagonal contributions to the form factor which involve diffractive orbits cancel exactly the diagonal contributions from diffr...
متن کاملAsymptotic Statistics of Nodal Domains of Quantum Chaotic Billiards in the Semiclassical Limit
Quantum chaos concerns eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a domain where a billiard ball would bounce chaotically. Such chaotic eigenfunctions have been conjectured to share statistical properties of their nodal domains with a simple percolation model, from which many interesting quantities can be computed analytically. We numerically test conjectures on the number and size of nodal doma...
متن کاملQuantum Chaos and Random Matrix Theory -some New Results
New insight into the correspondence between Quantum Chaos and Random Matrix Theory is gained by developing a semiclassical theory for the autocor-relation function of spectral determinants. We study in particular the unitary operators which are the quantum versions of area preserving maps. The relevant Random Matrix ensembles are the Circular ensembles. The resulting semiclassical expressions d...
