Large structured matrices and quantum chaos in resonant systems
Date/Time:21 Dec 2018 15:00Venue: S17 #04-06 SR1Speaker: Oleg Evnin, Chulalongkorn UniversityLarge structured matrices and quantum chaos in resonant systemsResonant systems emerge as weakly nonlinear approximations to problems of mathematical physics with highly resonant linearized perturbations, including Bose-Einstein condensates in harmonic traps and dynamics in AdS spacetimes. The classical dynamics within this class of systems can be very rich, ranging from fully integrable to chaotic as one changes the values of the mode coupling coefficients. Despite the complexity of the corresponding classical dynamics, the quantum version turns out to be remarkably simple: the Hamiltonian is block-diagonal in the Fock basis, with all blocks of varying finite sizes. One thus deals with the systematics of eigenvalues of highly structured finite matrices, including limits when these matrices become very large. I’ll report on a recent study of both numerical patterns emerging for the integrable cases, and the spectral statistics, which efficiently distinguishes the special integrable cases from generic (chaotic) points in the parameter space, and discuss a range of potential applications.
