Quantum signatures of chaos in integrable systems

Vassilios Constantoudis, Nikos Theodorakopoulos

Two fundamental quantum signatures of classically chaotic behaviour, large second derivatives and the logarithmic time barrier separating classical from quantum dynamics, have been observed near the separatrix of an integrable spin system. A systematic study in the neighbourhood of the separatrix reveals that the error in semiclassical eigenvalues (measured in units of the quantum level spacing) approaches a finite value at the classical limit. The generic factor which limits the validity of the correspondence principle is the presence of classical instabilities; chaotic behaviour is one such case; the separatrix of an integrable system is another.

On the Emergence of Chaotic Behaviour in Quantum Systems

Hasan Al-Husieni

Quantum chaos remains a challenging concept because classical signatures of chaos do not directly transfer to quantum systems. This thesis investigates which indicators of chaos are shared between classical and quantum mechanics and how they can be used to characterise non-integrable many-body systems. We examine ergodicity and thermalisation by means of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) as signatures of non-integrability, and study the Out-of-Time-Ordered Correlator (OTOC) as a probe of information scrambling and as a measure of sensitivity to initial conditions. We briefly discuss the appearance of chaotic wavefunctions and observations such as quantum scars and quantum ergodicity in individual eigenmodes of the Bunimovich stadium potential. Using the OTOC, we discuss extensions of the Lyapunov exponent to quantum systems and apply these ideas to the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model. In the large-N limit, and using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we find that the model might potentially be the dual of a black hole and that it is maximally chaotic. We conclude by discussing additional proposed signatures of quantum chaos and prospects for experimental realisations of the SYK model.

Quantum Signature of Classical Chaos in a Lipkin Model: Sensitivity of Eigenfunctions to Parameter Perturbations

Rui‐Hua Xie, Gong-ou Xu

In this paper, we have studied the properties of eigenfunctions in a three-level Lipkin model whose classical counterpart can exhibit classical chaos. In the regime of classical chaotic motions, sensitivity of eigenfunctions to parameter perturbation is exposed, which may be taken as a quantum signature of classical chaos.
