The momentum or velocity autocorrelation function C(t) for a tagged oscillator in a finite harmonic system decays like that of an infinite system for short times, but exhibits erratic behavior at longer time scales. We introduce the…
We study families of open chaotic maps that classically share the same asymptotic properties -- forward and backwards trapped sets, repeller dimensions, escape rate -- but differ in their short time behavior. When these maps are quantized…
The paper considers the spectral determinant of quantum graph families with chaotic classical limit and no symmetries. The secular coefficients of the spectral determinant are found to follow distributions with zero mean and variance…
In ballistic open quantum systems one often observes that the resonances in the complex-energy plane form a clear chain structure. Taking the open 3-disk system as a paradigmatic model system, we investigate how this chain structure is…
In this work, the term ``quantum chaos'' refers to spectral correlations similar to those found in the random matrix theory. Quantum chaos can be diagnosed through the analysis of level statistics using e.g.~the spectral form factor, which…
We investigate the classical and quantum dynamics of an electron confined to a circular quantum dot in the presence of homogeneous $B_{dc}+B_{ac}$ magnetic fields. The classical motion shows a transition to chaotic behavior depending on the…
We show that in the semiclassical limit, classically chaotic systems have universal spectral statistics. Concentrating on short-time statistics, we identify the pairs of classical periodic orbits determining the small-$\tau$ behavior of the…
Upon revisiting the Hamiltonian structure of classical wavefunctions in Koopman-von Neumann theory, this paper addresses the long-standing problem of formulating a dynamical theory of classical-quantum coupling. The proposed model not only…
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…
We investigate minimal two-body Hamiltonians with random interactions that generate spectra resembling those of Gaussian random matrices, a phenomenon we term quadratic quantum chaos. Unlike integrable two-body fermionic systems, the…
The coupling of a quantum system to an environment leads generally to decoherence, and it is detrimental to quantum correlations within the system itself. Yet some forms of quantum correlations can be robust to the presence of an…
We study scarring phenomena in open quantum systems. We show numerical evidence that individual resonance eigenstates of an open quantum system present localization around unstable short periodic orbits in a similar way as their closed…
We have systematically studied both classical and quantum chaotic behaviors of two colliding harmonic oscillators. The classical case falls in Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser class. It is shown that there exists an energy threshold, above which the…
We extract the information of a quantum motion and decode it into a certain orbit via a single measurable quantity. Such that a quantum chaotic system can be reconstructed as a chaotic attractor. Two configurations for reconstructing this…
For a class of quantized open chaotic systems satisfying a natural dynamical assumption, we show that the study of the resolvent, and hence of scattering and resonances, can be reduced to the study of a family of open quantum maps, that is…
The apparent difficulty in recovering classical nonlinear dynamics and chaos from standard quantum mechanics has been the subject of a great deal of interest over the last twenty years. For open quantum systems - those coupled to a…
We find the conditions for one quantum system to function as a classical controller of another quantum system: the controller must be an open system and rapidly diagonalised in the basis of the controller variable that is coupled to the…
Decoherence in quantum systems which are classically chaotic is studied. It is well-known that a classically chaotic system when quantized loses many prominent chaotic traits. We show that interaction of the quantum system with an…
It was recently shown (Keating & Prado, {\it Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A} {\bf 457}, 1855-1872 (2001)) that, in the semiclassical limit, the scarring of quantum eigenfunctions by classical periodic orbits in chaotic systems may be dramatically…
