A semi-classical study of the Casati-Prosen triangle map
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the semi-classical properties of a two-parameter family of piece-wise linear maps on the torus known as the Casati-Prosen or triangle map. This map is weakly chaotic and has zero Lyapunov exponent. A correspondence between classical and quantum observables is established, leading to an appropriate statement regarding equidistribution of eigenfunctions in the semi-classical limit. We then give a full description of our numerical study of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this family of maps. For generic choices of parameters the spectral and eigenfunction statistics are seen to follow the predictions of the random matrix theory conjecture.

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...
متن کاملRecurrence near given sets and the complexity of the Casati-Prosen map
We prove a quantitative recurrence result which allow to estimate the speed of approaching of a generic orbit to the discontinuities of a map. This result is applied to the study of complexity indicators for individual orbits generated by a certain zero-entropy discontinuous maps which are related to polygonal billiards and quantum chaos.
متن کاملSensitivity of quantum motion to perturbation in a triangle map.
We study quantum Loschmidt echo, or fidelity, in the triangle map whose classical counterpart has linear instability and weak chaos. Numerically, three regimes of fidelity decay have been found with respect to the perturbation strength epsilon. In the regime of weak perturbation, the fidelity decays as exp(-c epsilon(2)t(gamma)) with gamma approximately 1.7. In the regime of strong perturbation...
متن کاملOn ergodic and mixing properties of the triangle map
In this paper we study in detail, both analytically and numerically, the dynamical properties of the triangle map, a piecewise parabolic automorphism of the twodimensional torus, for different values of the two independent parameters defining the map. The dynamics is studied numerically by means of two different symbolic encoding schemes, both relying on the fact that it maps polygons to polygo...
متن کاملIncreasing thermoelectric efficiency: a dynamical systems approach.
Inspired by the kinetic theory of ergodic gases and chaotic billiards, we propose a simple microscopic mechanism for the increase of thermoelectric efficiency. We consider the cross transport of particles and energy in open classical ergodic billiards. We show that, in the linear response regime, where we find exact expressions for all transport coefficients, the thermoelectric efficiency of id...
