Classical and quantum chaos in a circular billiard with a straight cut.

چکیده
We study classical and quantum dynamics of a particle in a circular billiard with a straight cut. Classically, this system can be integrable, nonintegrable with soft chaos, or nonintegrable with hard chaos as we vary the size of the cut. We plot Poincaré surfaces of section to study chaos. Quantum mechanically, we look at Husimi plots, and also use the quantum web, the technique primarily used in spin systems so far, to try to see differences in quantum manifestations of soft and hard chaos.

Relevance of chaos in numerical solutions of quantum billiards
In this paper we have tested several general numerical methods in solving the quantum billiards, such as the boundary integral method (BIM) and the plane wave decomposition method (PWDM). We performed extensive numerical investigations of these two methods in a variety of quantum billiards: integrable systens (circles, rectangles, and segments of circular annulus), Kolmogorov-Armold-Moser (KAM)...
متن کاملBouncing Ball Modes and Quantum Chaos
Quantum ergodicity of classically chaotic systems has been studied extensively both theoretically and experimentally, in mathematics, and in physics. Despite this long tradition we are able to present a new rigorous result using only elementary calculus. In the case of the famous Bunimovich billiard table shown in Fig.1 we prove that the wave functions have to spread into any neighbourhood of t...
متن کاملNumerical aspects of eigenvalue and eigenfunction computations for chaotic quantum systems
We give an introduction to some of the numerical aspects in quantum chaos. The classical dynamics of two–dimensional area–preserving maps on the torus is illustrated using the standard map and a perturbed cat map. The quantization of area–preserving maps given by their generating function is discussed and for the computation of the eigenvalues a computer program in Python is presented. We illus...
متن کاملJu n 20 02 Sinai billiards , Ruelle zeta - functions and Ruelle resonances : microwave experiments
We discuss the impact of recent developments in the theory of chaotic dynamical systems, particularly the results of Sinai and Ruelle, on microwave experiments designed to study quantum chaos. The properties of closed Sinai billiard microwave cavities are discussed in terms of universal predictions from random matrix theory, as well as periodic orbit contributions which manifest as ‘scars’ in e...

The Casati-Prosen model [1] combines two paradigmatic models of classical and quantum mechanics: a Sinai billiard, where the simplest examples of chaotic motion take place and a Young, two slits, experiment, the main example of quantum behavior that it ”...is impossible absolutely impossible to explain in any classical way” [2]. So we really could call this model the ”Sinai-Young” experiment. W...
