Periodic Orbit Quantization beyond Semiclassics
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quantum generalization of the semiclassical theory of Gutzwiller is given. The new formulation leads to systematic orbit-by-orbit inclusion of higher h̄ contributions to the spectral determinant. We apply the theory to billiard systems, and compare the periodic orbit quantization including the first h̄ contribution to the exact quantum mechanical results. Typeset using REVTEX

The semiclassical origin of curvature effects in universal spectral statistics
We consider the energy averaged two-point correlator of spectral determinants and calculate contributions beyond the diagonal approximation using semiclassical methods. Evaluating the contributions originating from pseudo-orbit correlations in the same way as in [S. Heusler et al. 2007 Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 044103] we find a discrepancy between the semiclassical and the random matrix theory resu...
متن کاملUse of Harmonic Inversion Techniques in Semiclassical Quantization and Analysis of Quantum Spectra
Harmonic inversion is introduced as a powerful tool for both the analysis of quantum spectra and semiclassical periodic orbit quantization. The method allows to circumvent the uncertainty principle of the conventional Fourier transform and to extract dynamical information from quantum spectra which has been unattainable before, such as bifurcations of orbits, the uncovering of hidden ghost orbi...
متن کامل\ expansion for the periodic orbit quantization by harmonic inversion
Semiclassical spectra beyond the Gutzwiller and Berry-Tabor approximation for chaotic and regular systems, respectively, are obtained by harmonic inversion of the \ expansion of the periodic orbit signal. The method is illustrated for the circle billiard, where the semiclassical error is reduced by one to several orders of magnitude with respect to the lowest order approximation used previously...
متن کاملPeriodic orbits near bifurcations of codimension two: Classical mechanics, semiclassics and Stokes transitions
We investigate classical and semiclassical aspects of codimension-two bifurcations of periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems. A classification of these bifurcations in autonomous systems with two degrees of freedom or time-periodic systems with one degree of freedom is presented. We derive uniform approximations to be used in semiclassical trace formulae and determine also certain global bifurc...
متن کاملUse of harmonic inversion techniques in the periodic orbit quantization of integrable systems
Harmonic inversion has already been proven to be a powerful tool for the analysis of quantum spectra and the periodic orbit orbit quantization of chaotic systems. The harmonic inversion technique circumvents the convergence problems of the periodic orbit sum and the uncertainty principle of the usual Fourier analysis, thus yielding results of high resolution and high precision. Based on the clo...
