Integrability of a square billiard is spontaneously broken as it rotates about one of its corners. The system becomes quasi-integrable where the invariant tori are broken with respect to a certain parameter, $\lambda = 2E/\omega^{2}$ where…

The phenomenon of quantum localization in classically chaotic eigenstates is one of the main issues in quantum chaos (or wave chaos), and thus plays an important role in general quantum mechanics or even in general wave mechanics. In this…
We study the effect of an electric charge in the middle of a ring of electrons in a magnetic field such as $\nu = 1/2$. In the absence of the central charge, a residual current should appear due to an Aharanov-Bohm effect. As the charge…
Random matrix spectral correlations is a defining feature of quantum chaos. Here, we study such correlations in a minimal model of chaotic many-body quantum dynamics where interactions are confined to the system's boundary, dubbed…
