“…Mathematical work established that in consequence the resonances follow a modified, fractal Weyl law [9][10][11][12][13][14]. This fractal Weyl law has been confirmed numerically for a wide range of quantum maps [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and numerical [25][26][27][28] as well as first experimental [29] work shows that the fractal Weyl law also holds for autonomous systems. In a simple physical picture, this law originates from the increasing phase-space resolution as one approaches the classical limit, which results in a proliferation of short-lived resonances that follow ballistical classical escape routes [15].…”

Formation and interaction of resonance chains in the open three-disk system

In ballistic open quantum systems, one often observes that the resonances in the complex-energy plane form a clear chain structure. Taking the open three-disk system as a paradigmatic model system, we investigate how this chain structure is reflected in the resonance states and how it is connected to the underlying classical dynamics. Using an efficient scattering approach, we observe that resonance states along one chain are clearly correlated, while resonance states of different chains show an anticorrelation. Studying the phase-space representations of the resonance states, we find that their localization in phase space oscillates between different regions of the classical trapped set as one moves along the chains, and that these oscillations are connected to a modulation of the resonance spacing. A single resonance chain is thus not a WKB quantization of a single periodic orbit, but the structure of several oscillating chains arises from the interaction of several periodic orbits. We illuminate the physical mechanism behind these findings by combining the semiclassical cycle expansion with a quantum graph model.

“…The work of Sjöstrand [52] on semiclassical bounds for resonance counting has led to a general expectation for chaotic scattering systems that the number of resonances near the continuous spectrum should satisfy a power law with exponent equal to half of the dimension of the classical trapped set. Recently a large number of theoretical [56,15,37,53,36,38,35,9], numerical [48,24,25,27,49] and experimental [26,28,46,1,23] studies have appeared in support of this conjectural 'fractal Weyl law'.…”

We study the distribution of resonances for geometrically finite hyperbolic surfaces of infinite area by counting resonances numerically. The resonances are computed as zeros of the Selberg zeta function, using an algorithm for computation of the zeta function for Schottky groups. Our particular focus is on three aspects of the resonance distribution that have attracted attention recently: the fractal Weyl law, the spectral gap, and the concentration of decay rates.

Quantum signatures of classical multifractal measures

A clear signature of classical chaoticity in the quantum regime is the fractal Weyl law, which connects the density of eigenstates to the dimension D(0) of the classical invariant set of open systems. Quantum systems of interest are often partially open (e.g., cavities in which trajectories are partially reflected or absorbed). In the corresponding classical systems D(0) is trivial (equal to the phase-space dimension), and the fractality is manifested in the (multifractal) spectrum of Rényi dimensions D(q). In this paper we investigate the effect of such multifractality on the Weyl law. Our numerical simulations in area-preserving maps show for a wide range of configurations and system sizes M that (i) the Weyl law is governed by a dimension different from D(0)=2, and (ii) the observed dimension oscillates as a function of M and other relevant parameters. We propose a classical model that considers an undersampled measure of the chaotic invariant set, explains our two observations, and predicts that the Weyl law is governed by a nontrivial dimension D(asymptotic)
