Statistical analysis of level spacing ratios in pseudo-integrable systems: semi-Poisson insight and beyond
Abstract
We studied the statistical properties of a quantum system in the pseudo-integrable regime through the gap ratios between consecutive energy levels of the scattering spectra. A two-dimensional quantum billiard containing a point-like (zero-range) perturbation was experimentally simulated by a flat rectangular resonator with wire antennas. We show that the system exhibits semi-Poisson behavior in the frequency range GHz. The probability distribution of the studied system is characterized by the parameter , with the expected value for the short-range plasma model. Furthermore, we provide a theoretical expression for the higher-order non-overlapping probability distribution , , in the semi-Poisson regime, incorporating long-range spectral correlations between levels. The experimental and numerical results confirm the pseudo-integrability of the studied system. The semi-Poisson ensemble, for , approaches the GUE distribution. In addition, the uncorrelated Poisson statistics mimic the RMT ensembles at certain values, for GUE and for GSE. This unexpected scale-dependent convergence shows how spectral statistics can exhibit chaos-like features even in non-chaotic systems, suggesting that scale-dependent analysis bridges integrable and chaotic regimes.
