Scarring in a driven system with wave chaos

Chaotic Dynamics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We consider acoustic wave propagation in a model of a deep ocean acoustic waveguide with a periodic range-dependence. Formally, the wave field is described by the Schrodinger equation with a time-dependent Hamiltonian. Using methods borrowed from the quantum chaos theory it is shown that in the driven system under consideration there exists a "scarring" effect similar to that observed in autonomous quantum systems.
