# gst: chaotic billiards inside mixed curvatures

<< The boundary of a billiard system dictates its dynamics, which can be integrable, mixed, or fully chaotic. >>️

This AA study << introduces two such billiards: a bean-shaped billiard and a peanut-shaped billiard, the latter being a variant of Cassini ovals. Unlike traditional chaotic billiards, these systems incorporate both focusing and defocusing regions along their boundaries, with no neutral segments. >>

AA << examine both classical and quantum dynamics of these billiards and observe a strong alignment between the two perspectives. For classical analysis, the billiard flow diagram and billiard map reveal sensitivity to initial conditions, a hallmark of classical chaos. In the quantum domain, (AA) use nearest-neighbour spacing distribution and spectral complexity as statistical measures to characterise chaotic behaviour. >>

<< Both classical and quantum mechanical analysis are in firm agreement with each other. One of the most striking quantum phenomena (They) observe is the eigenfunction scarring (both scars and super-scars). Scarring phenomena serve as a rich visual manifestation of quantum and classical correspondence, and highlight quantum suppression chaos at a local level. >>

# gst: even tight-binding billiards could exhibit chaotic behaviors

<< Recent works have established universal entanglement properties and demonstrated validity of single-particle eigenstate thermalization in quantum-chaotic quadratic Hamiltonians. However, a common property of all quantum-chaotic quadratic Hamiltonians studied in this context so far is the presence of random terms that act as a source of disorder. >>

AA << introduce tight-binding billiards in two dimensions, which are described by non-interacting spinless fermions on a disorder-free square lattice subject to curved open boundaries. >>

They <<  show that many properties of tight-binding billiards match those of quantum-chaotic quadratic Hamiltonians (..) these properties indeed appear to be consistent with the emergence of quantum chaos in tight-binding billiards. This statement nevertheless needs to be taken with some care since there exist a sub-extensive (in lattice volume) set of single-particle eigenstates that are degenerate in the middle of the spectrum at zero energy (i.e., zero modes), for which the agreement with RMT (random matrix theory) predictions may not be established. >>

# gst: solitary wave billiards

<<  In the present work (AA) introduce the concept of solitary wave billiards. I.e., instead of a point particle, (they) consider a solitary wave in an enclosed region and explore its collision with the boundaries and the resulting trajectories in cases which for particle billiards are known to be integrable and for cases that are known to be chaotic. A principal conclusion is that solitary wave billiards are generically found to be chaotic even in cases where the classical particle billiards are integrable. However, the degree of resulting chaoticity depends on the particle speed and on the properties of the potential. >>

# gst: apropos of 'disordered interactions', localization and dissociation of bound states and mapping to chaotic billiards concerning two particles on a chain

AA << consider two particles hopping on a chain with a contact interaction between them. At strong interaction, there is a molecular bound state separated by a direct gap from a continuous band of atomic states. Introducing weak disorder in the interaction, the molecular state becomes Anderson localized (exponential localization of all energy eigenstates,). At stronger disorder, part of the molecular band delocalizes and dissociates due to its hybridization to the atomic band. (AA) characterize these different regimes by computing the density of states, the inverse participation ratio, the level-spacing statistics and the survival probability of an initially localized state.  >>️

<< The atomic band is best described as that of a rough billiard for a single particle on a square lattice that shows signatures of quantum chaos. In addition to typical ``chaotic states'', (AA) find states that are localized along only one direction. These ``separatrix states'' are more localized than chaotic states, and similar in this respect to scarred states, but their existence is due to the separatrix iso-energy line in the interaction-free dispersion relation, rather than to unstable periodic orbits. >>
