Semiclassical form factor for chaotic systems with spin 1 / 2
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the properties of the two-point spectral form factor for classically chaotic systems with spin 1/2 in the semiclassical limit, with a suitable semiclassical trace formula as our principal tool. To this end we introduce a regularized form factor and discuss the limit in which the so-called diagonal approximation can be recovered. The incorporation of the spin contribution to the trace formula requires an appropriate variant of the equidistribution principle of long periodic orbits as well as the notion of a skew product of the classical translational and spin dynamics. Provided this skew product is mixing, we show that generically the diagonal approximation of the form factor coincides with the respective predictions from random matrix theory.

Semiclassical Approach to Parametric Spectral Correlation with Spin 1 / 2
The spectral correlation of a chaotic system with spin 1/2 is universally described by the GSE (Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble) of random matrices in the semiclassical limit. In semiclassical theory, the spectral form factor is expressed in terms of the periodic orbits and the spin state is simulated by the uniform distribution on a sphere. In this paper, instead of the uniform distribution, we i...
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 کاملQuantum Cat Maps with Spin 1/2
We derive a semiclassical trace formula for quantized chaotic transformations of the torus coupled to a two-spinor precessing in a magnetic field. The trace formula is applied to semiclassical correlation densities of the quantum map, which, according to the conjecture of Bohigas, Giannoni and Schmit, are expected to converge to those of the circular symplectic ensemble (CSE) of random matrices...
متن کاملSemiclassical Husimi functions for spin systems
Rigorous derivation of semiclassical approximations in phase space via path integrals [1] for systems with one degree of freedom have recently received considerable attention, both for continuous variables and spin systems. Baranger et al [2], for example, have discussed the canonical coherent state path integral and its semiclassical approximation in some detail, including an initial-value rep...
متن کاملLeading off-diagonal contribution to the spectral form factor of chaotic quantum systems
We semiclassically derive the leading off-diagonal correction to the spectral form factor of quantum systems with a chaotic classical counterpart. To this end we present a phase space generalization of a recent approach for uniformly hyperbolic systems [1, 2]. Our results coincide with corresponding random matrix predictions. Furthermore, we study the transition from the Gaussian orthogonal to ...
