Chaotic eigenfunctions in momentum space

چکیده
We study eigenstates of chaotic billiards in the momentum representation and propose the radially integrated momentum distribution as useful measure to detect localization effects. For the momentum distribution, the radially integrated momentum distribution, and the angular integrated momentum distribution explicit formulae in terms of the normal derivative along the billiard boundary are derived. We present a detailed numerical study for the stadium and the cardioid billiard, which shows in several cases that the radially integrated momentum distribution is a good indicator of localized eigenstates, such as scars, or bouncing ball modes. We also find examples, where the localization is more strongly pronounced in position space than in momentum space, which we discuss in detail. Finally applications and generalizations are discussed. ∗E-mail address: [email protected] ∗∗E-mail address: [email protected]

We study individual eigenstates of quantized area-preserving maps on the 2-torus which are classically chaotic. In order to analyze their semiclassical behavior, we use the Bargmann–Husimi representations for quantum states, as well as their stellar parametrization, which encodes states through a minimal set of points in phase space (the constellation of zeros of the Husimi density). We rigorou...
متن کاملOn the Convergence of Eigenfunctions to Threshold Energy States
We prove the convergence in certain weighted spaces in momentum space of eigenfunctions of H = T − λV as the energy goes to an energy threshold. We do this for three choices of kinetic energy T , namely the nonrelativistic Schrödinger operator, the pseudorelativistc operator √ −∆+m2 − m, and the Dirac operator.

متن کاملCorrelations in Chaotic Eigenfunctions at Large Separation
An energy eigenfunction in a classically chaotic system is known to have spatial correlations which (in the limit of small h̄) are governed by a microcanonical distribution in the classical phase space. This result is valid, however, only over coordinate distances which are small compared to any relevant classical distance scales (such as the cyclotron radius for a charged particle in a magnetic...
متن کاملVarious applications of the random matrix ensembles to the quantum chaotic systems
The random matrix ensembles are applied to the quantum chaotic systems. The quantum systems are studied using the finite dimensional real, complex and quaternion Hilbert spaces of the eigenfunctions. The linear operators describing the systems act on these Hilbert spaces and they are treated as random matrices in generic bases of the eigenfunctions. The random eigenproblems are presented and so...
