We quantize graphs (networks) which consist of a finite number of bonds and vertices. We show that the spectral statistics of fully connected graphs is well reproduced by random matrix theory. We also define a classical phase space for the…
We prove that the spectrum of an individual chaotic quantum graph shows universal spectral correlations, as predicted by random--matrix theory. The stability of these correlations with regard to non--universal corrections is analyzed in…

The form factor of a quantum graph is a function measuring correlations within the spectrum of the graph. It can be expressed as a double sum over the periodic orbits on the graph. We propose a scheme which allows one to evaluate the…

The unitary evolution maps in closed chaotic quantum graphs are known to have universal spectral correlations, as predicted by random matrix theory. In chaotic graphs with absorption the quantum maps become non-unitary. We show that their…
Consider a graph having quantum systems lying at each node. Suppose that the whole thing evolves in discrete time steps, according to a global, unitary causal operator. By causal we mean that information can only propagate at a bounded…
