The understanding of how classical dynamics can emerge in closed quantum systems is a problem of fundamental importance. Remarkably, while classical behavior usually arises from coupling to thermal fluctuations or random spectral noise, it…
We consider classical response in a strongly chaotic (mixing) system. As opposed to the case of stable dynamics, the nonlinear classical response in a chaotic system vanishes at large times. The physical behavior of the nonlinear response…

Electronic transport through chaotic quantum dots exhibits universal, system independent, properties, consistent with random matrix theory. The quantum transport can also be rooted, via the semiclassical approximation, in sums over the…

We discuss applications of the theory of Quantum Chaos to one of the paradigm models of many-body quantum physics -- the Bose-Hubbard model, which describes, in particular, interacting ultracold Bose atoms in an optical lattice. After…
The physics of many closed, conservative systems can be described by both classical and quantum theories. The dynamics according to classical theory is symplectic and admits linear instabilities which would initially seem at odds with a…
Consider a time-dependent Hamiltonian $H(Q,P;x(t))$ with periodic driving $x(t)=A\sin(\Omega t)$. It is assumed that the classical dynamics is chaotic, and that its power-spectrum extends over some frequency range $|\omega|<\omega_{cl}$.…

A model is investigated where a monochromatic, spatially homogeneous laser field interacts with an electron in a one-dimensional periodic lattice. The classical Hamiltonian is presented and the technique of stroboscopic maps is used to…
We study classical and quantum scattering properties in the ballistic regime of particles in two-dimensional chaotic billiards that are models of electron- or micro- waveguides. To this end we construct the purely classical counterparts of…
We show that the semiclassical approach to chaotic quantum transport in the presence of time-reversal symmetry can be described by a matrix model, i.e. a matrix integral whose perturbative expansion satisfies the semiclassical diagrammatic…
The maximally chaotic K-systems are dynamical systems which have nonzero Kolmogorov entropy. On the other hand, the hyperbolic dynamical systems that fulfil the Anosov C-condition have exponential instability of phase trajectories, mixing…
We investigate chaotic behavior in a 2-D Hamiltonian system - oscillators with anharmonic coupling. We compare the classical system with quantum system. Via the quantum action, we construct Poincar\'e sections and compute Lyapunov exponents…

We provide numerical evidence that the perturbative spectrum of anomalous dimensions in maximally supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is chaotic at finite values of N. We calculate the probability distribution of one-loop level spacings…
Recovering trajectories of quantum systems whose classical counterparts display chaotic behavior has been a subject that has received a lot of interest over the last decade. However, most of these studies have focused on driven and…
