We look at the expectation values for quantized linear symplectic maps on the multidimensional torus and their distribution in the semiclassical limit. We construct super-scars that are stable under the arithmetic symmetries of the system…
We discover and characterize strong quantum scars, or eigenstates resembling classical periodic orbits, in two-dimensional quantum wells perturbed by local impurities. These scars are not explained by ordinary scar theory, which would…
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…
Quantum scars are enhancements of quantum probability density along classical periodic orbits. We study the recently discovered phenomenon of strong, perturbation-induced quantum scarring in the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator exposed…
The phenomenon of periodic orbit scarring of eigenstates of classically chaotic systems is attracting increasing attention. Scarring is one of the most important "corrections" to the ideal random eigenstates suggested by random matrix…
In this series, we investigate quantum ergodicity at small scales for linear hyperbolic maps of the torus ("cat maps'"). In Part II of the series, we construct quasimodes that are quantum ergodic but are not equidistributed at the…
We extend the semiclassical theory of scarring of quantum eigenfunctions psi_{n}(q) by classical periodic orbits to include situations where these orbits undergo generic bifurcations. It is shown that |psi_{n}(q)|^{2}, averaged locally with…
Let $N$ be a compact hyperbolic manifold, $M\subset N$ an embedded totally geodesic submanifold, and let $-\hbar^2\Delta_{N}$ be the semiclassical Laplace--Beltrami operator. For any $\varepsilon>0$, we explicitly construct families of…
In this work we study cat maps with many degrees of freedom. Classical cat maps are classified using the Cayley parametrization of symplectic matrices and the closely associated center and chord generating functions. Particular attention is…
We study the ergodic properties for a class of quantized toral automorphisms, namely the cat and Kronecker maps. The present work uses and extends the results of [KL]. We show that quantized cat maps are strongly mixing, while Kronecker…
Teleportation of quantum information over long distances requires robust entanglement on the macroscopic scale. The construction of highly energetic eigenstates with tunable long-range entanglement can provide a new medium for information…
We prove a strong version of quantum ergodicity for linear hyperbolic maps of the torus (``cat maps''). We show that there is a density one sequence of integers so that as N tends to infinity along this sequence, all eigenfunctions of the…
We study individual eigenstates of quantized area-preserving maps on the 2-torus which are classically chaotic. In order to analyze their semiclassical behavior, we use the Bargmann-Husimi representations for quantum states, as well as…
We investigate the emergence of quantum scars in a general ensemble of random Hamiltonians (of which the PXP is a particular realization), that we refer to as quantum local random networks. We find a class of scars, that we call…
We analyze the behavior of quantum dynamical entropies production from sequences of quantum approximants approaching their (chaotic) classical limit. The model of the quantized hyperbolic automorphisms of the 2-torus is examined in detail…
Properties related to entanglement in quantum systems, are known to be associated with distinct properties of the corresponding classical systems, as for example stability, integrability and chaos. This means that the detailed topology,…
We study topological properties of automorphisms of a 6-dimensional torus generated by integer matrices symplectic with respect to either the standard symplectic structure in six-dimensional linear space or a nonstandard symplectic…
In this paper, I describe the weak limits of the measures associated to the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a Quantum graph for a generic metric in terms of the Gauss map of the determinant manifold. I describe also all the limits with…
For many classically chaotic systems, it is believed that in the semiclassical limit, the matrix elements of smooth observables approach the phase space average of the observable. In the approach to the limit the matrix elements can…
This article aims at popularizing some aspects of "quantum chaos", in particular the study of eigenmodes of classically chaotic systems, in the semiclassical (or high frequency) limit.
