According to theorems of Shnirelman and followers, in the semiclassical limit the quantum wavefunctions of classically ergodic systems tend to the microcanonical density on the energy shell. We here develop a semiclassical theory that…
We discuss the condition for the validity of equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics in the light of recent developments in the understanding of classical and quantum chaotic motion. In particular, the ergodicity parameter is shown to…
We prove a variety of quantum unique ergodicity results for Eisenstein series in the level aspect. A new feature of this variant of QUE is that the main term involves the logarithmic derivative of a Dirichlet $L$-function on the $1$-line. A…
We work toward the arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity (AQUE) conjecture for sequences of Hecke--Maass forms on hyperbolic $4$-manifolds. We show that limits of such forms can only scar on totally geodesic $3$-submanifolds, and in fact…
Quantum ergodicity of classically chaotic systems has been studied extensively both theoretically and experimentally, in mathematics, and in physics. Despite this long tradition we are able to present a new rigorous result using only…
We relate high-energy limits of Laplace-type and Dirac-type operators to frame flows on the corresponding manifolds, and show that the ergodicity of frame flows implies quantum ergodicity in an appropriate sense for those operators.…
We show that in systems with highly degenerate energy spectra, such as the 2D transverse-field Ising model (2DTFIM) in the strong-field limit, quantum chaos can emerge in finite systems for arbitrary small perturbations. In this regime, the…
Bounds are developed for the condition number of the linear finite element equations of an anisotropic diffusion problem with arbitrary meshes. They depend on three factors. The first, factor proportional to a power of the number of mesh…
Fundamental theories, such as Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) promise great predictive power addressing phenomena over vast scales from the microscopic to cosmic scales. However, new non-perturbative tools are…
We prove that arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity holds on compact arithmetic quotients of $GL(2,\mathbb{Q}_p)$ for automorphic forms belonging to the principal series. We interpret this conclusion in terms of the equidistribution of…
Consider $N\times N$ symmetric one-dimensional random band matrices with general distribution of the entries and band width $W \geq N^{3/4+\varepsilon}$ for any $\varepsilon>0$. In the bulk of the spectrum and in the large $N$ limit, we…
We solve for quantum Riemannian geometries on the finite lattice interval $\bullet-\bullet-\cdots-\bullet$ with $n$ nodes (the Dynkin graph of type $A_n$) and find that they are necessarily $q$-deformed with $q=e^{\imath\pi\over n+1}$. This…
It is believed that the theory of quantum gravity describing our universe is unitary. Nonetheless, if we only have access to a subsystem, its dynamics is described by nonequilibrium physics. Motivated by this, we investigate the planar…
This paper is a continuation of Poiret-Robert-Thomann (2013) where we studied a randomisation method based on the Laplacian with harmonic potential. Here we extend our previous results to the case of any polynomial and confining potential…
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…
We explore quantum chaos diagnostics of variational circuit states at random parameters and study their correlation with the circuit expressibility and the optimization of control parameters. By measuring the operator spreading coefficient…
For general quantum systems the semiclassical behaviour of eigenfunctions in relation to the ergodic properties of the underlying classical system is quite difficult to understand. The Wignerfunctions of eigenstates converge weakly to…
The quantum cat map is a model for a quantum system with underlying chaotic dynamics. In this paper we study the matrix elements of smooth observables in this model, when taking arithmetic symmetries into account. We give explicit formulas…
Ergodic isolated quantum many-body systems satisfy the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), i.e., the expectation values of local observables in the system's eigenstates approach the predictions of the microcanonical ensemble.…
This paper consists of four parts. In the first part, we explain what eigenvalues we are interested in and show the difficulties of the study on the first (non-trivial) eigenvalue through examples. In the second part, we present some (dual)…
