Quantization of a billiard model for interacting particles

Abstract

We consider a billiard model of a self-bound, interacting three-body system in two spatial dimensions. Numerical studies show that the classical dynamics is chaotic. The corresponding quantum system displays spectral fluctuations that exhibit small deviations from random matrix theory predictions. These can be understood in terms of scarring caused by a 1-parameter family of orbits inside the collinear manifold.
