Quantum cat maps are toy models in quantum chaos associated to hyperbolic symplectic matrices $A\in \operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{Z})$. The macroscopic limits of sequences of eigenfunctions of a quantum cat map are characterized by…
In the case of a linear symplectic map A of the 2d-torus, semiclassical measures are A-invariant probability measures associated to sequences of high energy quantum states. Our main result is an explicit lower bound on the entropy of any…
We consider the quantum cat map - a toy model of a quantized chaotic system. We show that its eigenstates are fully delocalized on $\mathbb{T}^2$ in the semiclassical limit (or equivalently that each semiclassical measure is fully supported…
We consider eigenvalues of a quantized cat map (i.e. hyperbolic symplectic integer matrix), cut off in phase space to include a fixed point as its only periodic orbit on the torus. We prove a simple formula for the eigenvalues on both the…
We study eigenfunction localization for higher dimensional cat maps, a popular model of quantum chaos. These maps are given by linear symplectic maps in ${\mathrm{Sp}}(2g,\mathbb Z)$, which we take to be ergodic. Under some natural…
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…
We study $\ell^\infty$ norms of $\ell^2$-normalized eigenfunctions of quantum cat maps. For maps with short quantum periods (constructed by Bonechi and de Bi\`evre), we show that there exists a sequence of eigenfunctions $u$ with…
We characterize quantum limits and semi-classical measures corresponding to sequences of eigenfunctions for systems of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators with arbitrary frequencies. The structure of the set of semi-classical measures…
A general condition for the self-consistency of a semiclassical approximation to a given system is suggested. It is based on the eigenvalue distribution of the relevant Hessian evaluated at the streamline configurations (configurations that…
Given a quantum Hamiltonian, we explain how the dynamical properties of the underlying classical system affect the behaviour of quantum eigenstates in the semi-classical limit. We study this problem via the notion of semiclassical measures.…
In the framework of semiclassical theory the universal properties of quantum systems with classically chaotic dynamics can be accounted for through correlations between partner periodic orbits with small action differences. So far, however,…
Quantum ergodicity asserts that almost all infinite sequences of eigenstates of a quantized ergodic system are equidistributed in the phase space. On the other hand, there are might exist exceptional sequences which converge to different…
There is a commonly recognized paradigm in which a multipartite quantum system described by a density matrix having no product eigenbasis is considered to possess nonclassical correlation. Supporting this paradigm, we define two entropic…
In this paper we construct a sequence of eigenfunctions of the ``quantum Arnold's cat map'' that, in the semiclassical limit, show a strong scarring phenomenon on the periodic orbits of the dynamics. More precisely, those states have a…
This paper concerns the behavior of eigenfunctions of quantized cat maps and in particular their supremum norm. We observe that for composite integer values of N, the inverse of Planck's constant, some of the desymmetrized eigenfunctions…
In this work we study cat maps with many degrees of freedom. Classical cat maps are classified using the Cayley parametrization of symplectic matrices and the closely associated center and chord generating functions. Particular attention is…
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…

We examine semiclassical measures for Laplace eigenfunctions on compact hyperbolic $(n+1)$-manifolds. We prove their support must contain the cosphere bundle of a compact immersed totally geodesic submanifold. Our proof adapts the argument…
