Many models for chaotic systems consist of joining two integrable systems with incompatible constants of motion. The quantum counterparts of such models have a propagator which factorizes into two integrable parts. Each part can be…
We describe the statistics of chaotic wavefunctions near periodic orbits using a basis of states which optimise the effect of scarring. These states reflect the underlying structure of stable and unstable manifolds in phase space and…
