We speak of chaos in quantum systems if the statistical properties of the eigenvalue spectrum coincide with predictions of random-matrix theory. Chaos is a typical feature of atomic nuclei and other self-bound Fermi systems. How can the…

In atomic nuclei, as in other many-body systems, the classical phase space is mixed, so ordered and chaotic states generally coexist. In this contribution we discuss some models, showing the transition from order to chaos. In several cases…
In atomic nuclei, ordered and chaotic states generally coexist. In this paper the transition from ordered to chaotic states will be discussed in the framework of roto-vibrational and shell models. In particular for $^{160}Gd$, in the…
It has been suggested that chaotic motion inside the nucleus may significantly limit the accuracy with which nuclear masses can be calculated. Using a power spectrum analysis we show that the inclusion of additional physical contributions…
