Morphological Image Analysis of Quantum Motion in Billiards

Chaotic Dynamics 2009-10-31 v3 Quantum Physics

Abstract

Morphological image analysis is applied to the time evolution of the probability distribution of a quantum particle moving in two and three-dimensional billiards. It is shown that the time-averaged Euler characteristic of the probability density provides a well defined quantity to distinguish between classically integrable and non-integrable billiards. In three dimensions the time-averaged mean breadth of the probability density may also be used for this purpose.
