Quantum Chaology of Energy Levels Notes Based on Lectures by Michael Berry

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 176))

Abstract

The subtle and complex nature of classical Hamiltonian mechanics is now well recognised: long-time predictability and the topologies of the orbits of a system are known to depend critically on the form of the Hamiltonian and the phase space may support regions of regular and chaotic motion interwoven on all scales.1 A natural question is: how does this classical complexity manifest itself in the corresponding quantum system? Sometimes this question is put in the form: what is Quantum Chaos?
