Semiclassical Husimi distributions for non-Hermitian quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2023-07-28 v3 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

We construct a semiclassical phase-space density of Schur vectors in non-Hermitian quantum systems. Each Schur vector is associated to a single Planck cell. The Schur states are organised according to a classical norm landscape on phase space - a classical manifestation of the lifetimes which are characteristic of non-Hermitian systems. To demonstrate the generality of this construction we apply it to a highly non-trivial example, a PT-symmetric kicked rotor in the regimes of mixed and chaotic classical dynamics.
