We relate two types of phase space distributions associated to eigenfunctions $\phi_{ir_j}$ of the Laplacian on a compact hyperbolic surface $X_{\Gamma}$: (1) Wigner distributions $\int_{S^*\X} a dW_{ir_j}=< Op(a)\phi_{ir_j},…

We study the ergodicity and mixing of quantum kicked rotor (QKR) with two distinct approaches. In one approach, we use the definitions of quantum ergodicity and mixing recently proposed in [Phys. Rev. E 94, 022150 (2016)], which involve…
