Quantum Poincaré Recurrences
Giulio Casati, Giulio Maspero, Dima L. Shepelyansky
We show that quantum effects modify the decay rate of Poincaré recurrences P(t) in classical chaotic systems with hierarchical structure of phase space. The exponent p of the algeb…
Chaotic enhancement in microwave ionization of Rydberg atoms
Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Dima L. Shepelyansky
The microwave ionization of internally chaotic Rydberg atoms is studied analytically and numerically. The internal chaos is induced by magnetic or static electric fields. This lead…
Quantum mechanics of chaotic billiards
Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen
We study the quantum behaviour of chaotic billiards which exhibit classically diffusive behaviour. In particular we consider the stadium billiard and discuss how the interplay betw…
Quantum localization and cantori in chaotic billiards
Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen
We study the quantum behaviour of the stadium billiard. We discuss how the interplay between quantum localization and the rich structure of the classical phase space influences the…
On the foundation of equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics
Giulio Casati
We discuss the condition for the validity of equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics in the light of recent developments in the understanding of classical and quantum chaotic mot…
