We give three different proofs of the main result of Anantharaman-Le Masson, establishing quantum ergodicity -- a form of delocalization --for eigenfunctions of the laplacian on large regular graphs of fixed degree. These three proofs are…

We review quantum chaos on graphs. We construct a unitary operator which represents the quantum evolution on the graph and study its spectral and wavefunction statistics. This operator is the analogue of the classical evolution operator on…

We give an overview of the interplay between the behavior of high energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold and the dynamical properties of the geodesic flow on that manifold. This includes the Quantum…

We provide a versatile plateform to investigate wave-particle duality. This photonic waveguide network implements quantum (wave) graphs as proposed in the seminal paper by Kottos \& Smilansky [PRL \textbf{85} 968 (2000)]. We experimentally…

Quantum counterparts of certain simple classical systems can exhibit chaotic behaviour through the statistics of their energy levels and the irregular spectra of chaotic systems are modelled by eigenvalues of infinite random matrices. We…

We prove that the short-period eigenfunctions of quantum cat maps constructed by Kim and the author equidistribute on $\mathbb{T}^2$ in the sense of semiclassical measures. We also show that their logarithmically large $\ell^\infty$-norm is…

McKay proved that the limiting spectral measures of the ensembles of $d$-regular graphs with $N$ vertices converge to Kesten's measure as $N\to\infty$. In this paper we explore the case of weighted graphs. More precisely, given a large…

In the broad range of studies related to quantum graphs, quantum graph spectra appear as a topic of special interest. They are important in the context of diffusion type problems posed on metric graphs. Theoretical findings suggest that…

We numerically investigate the distribution of extrema of 'chaotic' Laplacian eigenfunctions on two-dimensional manifolds. Our contribution is two-fold: (a) we count extrema on grid graphs with a small number of randomly added edges and…

In this paper we study Spectral Decomposition Theorem [1] and translate it to quantum language by means of the Wigner transform. We obtain a quantum version of Spectral Decomposition Theorem (QSDT) which enables us to achieve three distinct…

We investigate the distribution of roots of polynomials of high degree with random coefficients which, among others, appear naturally in the context of "quantum chaotic dynamics". It is shown that under quite general conditions their roots…

In searching for the manifestations of sensitivity of the eigenfunctions in quantum billiards (with Dirichlet boundary conditions) with respect to the boundary data (the normal derivative) we have performed instead various numerical tests…
