The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a route to describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. We propose a simple setup to generate quantum many-body scars in…
The eigenfunctions of quantized chaotic systems cannot be described by explicit formulas, even approximate ones. This survey summarizes (selected) analytical approaches used to describe these eigenstates, in the semiclassical limit. The…
Quantum many-body scars enable persistent non-ergodic dynamics in otherwise thermalizing systems, yet their stabilization typically relies on fine-tuned initial states or engineered Hamiltonian perturbations. Here we show that lattice…
The quantum wave-function of a massive particle with small initial uncertainties (consistent with the uncertainty relation) is believed to spread very slowly, so that the dynamics is deterministic. This assumes that the classical motions…
Mesoscopic devices, with system sizes in the range of several to several dozens wavelengths, represent paradigmatic model systems for the observation of quantum chaotic behaviour based on semiclassical concepts. Those electronic and…
We calculate the dynamical spin structure factor of spin waves for weakly coupled stripes. At low energy, the spin wave cone intensity is strongly peaked on the inner branches. As energy is increased, there is a saddlepoint followed by a…
We propose that certain patterns (scars) -- theoretically and numerically predicted to be formed by electrons arranged on a sphere to minimize the repulsive Coulomb potential (the Thomson problem) and experimentally found in spherical…
The compatibility of the semiclassical quantization of area-preserving maps with some exact identities which follow from the unitarity of the quantum evolution operator is discussed. The quantum identities involve relations between traces…
Given that any subsystem of a closed out-of-equilibrium quantum system is an open quantum system, its dynamics (reduced from the full system's unitary evolution) can be either Markovian (memory-less) or non-Markovian, with the latter…
The eigenvalue density of a quantum-mechanical system exhibits oscillations, determined by the closed orbits of the corresponding classical system; this relationship is simple and strong for waves in billiards or on manifolds, but becomes…

We have revealed that the barrier-tunneling process in non-integrable systems is strongly linked to chaos in complex phase space by investigating a simple scattering map model. The semiclassical wavefunction reproduces complicated features…
We establish the emergence of chaotic motion in optomechanical systems. Chaos appears at negative detuning for experimentally accessible values of the pump power and other system parameters. We describe the sequence of period doubling…
It has been known classically that a star with an ergoregion but no event horizon is unstable to the emission of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational waves. This classical ergoregion instability is characterized by complex frequency…
This paper studies the time-symmetry problem in quantum gravity. The issue depends critically on the choice of the quantum state and has been considered in this paper by restricting to the case of quantum wormholes. It is seen that pure…
In the framework of semiclassical theory the universal properties of quantum systems with classically chaotic dynamics can be accounted for through correlations between partner periodic orbits with small action differences. So far, however,…
The suppression of chaos in quantum reality is evident in quantum scars, i.e., in enhanced probability densities along classical periodic orbits, providing opportunities in controlling quantum transport in nanoscale quantum systems. Here,…
In a quantum theory of cosmology spacetime behaves classically only in limited patches of the configuration space on which the wave function of the universe is defined. Quantum transitions can connect classical evolution in different…
In many problems of quantum chaos the calculation of sums of products of periodic orbit contributions is required. A general method of computation of these sums is proposed for generic integrable models where the summation over periodic…
