Misleading signatures of quantum chaos

arXiv:nlin/0112014 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.66.036209

Abstract

The main signature of chaos in a quantum system is provided by spectral statistical analysis of the nearest neighbor spacing distribution and the spectral rigidity given by . It is shown that some standard unfolding procedures, like local unfolding and Gaussian broadening, lead to a spurious increase of the spectral rigidity that spoils the relationship with the regular or chaotic motion of the system. This effect can also be misinterpreted as Berry's saturation.
