Luukko Scars - a New Mechanism for Wavefunction Scar Formation

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

A new type of scarring phenomenon in bound quantum systems is reported that creates classical orbit localization as a result of localization in classical action. Perturbation of quasi-degenerate manifolds of unperturbed quantum states by a weak random potential is involved. The localization may be related to Anderson localization but this is still under investigation.
