Explicit analytical solution for scaling quantum graphs

Abstract

We show that scaling quantum graphs with arbitrary topology are explicitly analytically solvable. This is surprising since quantum graphs are excellent models of quantum chaos and quantum chaotic systems are not usually explicitly analytically solvable.

One-dimensional quantum chaos: Explicitly solvable cases

Yu. Dabaghian, R. V. Jensen, R. Blümel

We present quantum graphs with remarkably regular spectral characteristics. We call them regular quantum graphs . Although regular quantum graphs are strongly chaotic in the classical limit, their quantum spectra are explicitly solvable in terms of periodic orbits. We present analytical solutions for the spectrum of regular quantum graphs in the form of explicit and exact periodic orbit expansions for each individual energy level.

Explicit Spectral formulae for scaling quantum graphs

Yuri A. Dabaghian, R. Blümel

We present an exact analytical solution of the spectral problem of quasi one-dimensional scaling quantum graphs. Strongly stochastic in the classical limit, these systems are frequently employed as models of quantum chaos. We show that despite their classical stochasticity all scaling quantum graphs are explicitly solvable in the form $E_n=f(n)$, where $n$ is the sequence number of the energy level of the quantum graph and $f$ is a known function, which depends only on the physical and geometrical properties of the quantum graph. Our method of solution motivates a new classification scheme for quantum graphs: we show that each quantum graph can be uniquely assigned an integer $m$ reflecting its level of complexity. We show that a taut string with piecewise constant mass density provides an experimentally realizable analogue system of scaling quantum graphs.

Explicit spectral formulas for scaling quantum graphs

Yuri A. Dabaghian, R. Blümel

We present an exact analytical solution of the spectral problem of quasi-one-dimensional scaling quantum graphs. Strongly stochastic in the classical limit, these systems are frequently employed as models of quantum chaos. We show that despite their classical stochasticity all scaling quantum graphs are explicitly solvable in the form E(n) =f (n) , where n is the sequence number of the energy level of the quantum graph and f is a known function, which depends only on the physical and geometrical properties of the quantum graph. Our method of solution motivates a new classification scheme for quantum graphs: we show that each quantum graph can be uniquely assigned an integer m reflecting its level of complexity. We show that a network of taut strings with piecewise constant mass density provides an experimentally realizable analogue system of scaling quantum graphs.

Quantum graph models of quantum chaos: an introduction and some recent applications

Gregory Berkolaiko, Sven Gnutzmann

Quantum graphs are a paradigmatic model for quantum chaos as well as for spectral theory. We give a concise didactical introduction to quantum graphs, or Schrödinger Hamiltonians on metric graphs, with a focus on results related to quantum chaos, periodic orbit theory and spectral theory. We summarise related seminal results, and give an overview over a few more recent developments.

Chaotic Scattering on Graphs

Tsampikos Kottos, Uzy Smilansky

Quantized, compact graphs are excellent paradigms for quantum chaos in bounded systems. Connecting them with leads to infinity, we show that they display all the features which characterize quantum chaotic scattering. We derive exact expressions for the scattering matrix, and an exact trace formula for the density of resonances, in terms of classical orbits, analogous to the semiclassical theory of chaotic scattering. A statistical analysis of the cross sections and resonance parameters compares well with the predictions of random matrix theory. Hence, this system is proposed as a convenient tool to study the generic behavior of chaotic scattering systems and their semiclassical description.

We present an exact analytical solution of the spectral problem of quasi one-dimensional scaling quantum graphs. Strongly stochastic in the classical limit, these systems are frequently employed as models of quantum chaos. We show that despite their classical stochasticity all scaling quantum graphs are explicitly solvable in the form En=f(n)E_n=f(n)En​=f(n), where nnn is the sequence number of the energy level of the quantum graph and fff is a known function, which depends only on the physical and geometrical properties of the quantum graph. Our method of solution motivates a new classification scheme for quantum graphs: we show that each quantum graph can be uniquely assigned an integer mmm reflecting its level of complexity. We show that a taut string with piecewise constant mass density provides an experimentally realizable analogue system of scaling quantum graphs.
