Exact, convergent periodic-orbit expansions of individual energy eigenvalues of regular quantum graphs

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present exact, explicit, convergent periodic-orbit expansions for individual energy levels of regular quantum graphs. One simple application is the energy levels of a particle in a piecewise constant potential. Since the classical ray trajectories (including ray splitting) in such systems are strongly chaotic, this result provides the first explicit quantization of a classically chaotic system.
