Chaos and quantization of the three-particle generic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou model II: phenomenology of quantum eigenstates (2401.13070v1)

Abstract: We undertake a thorough investigation into the phenomenology of quantum eigenstates, in the three-particle FPUT model. Employing different Husimi functions, our study focuses on both the $\alpha$-type, which is canonically equivalent to the celebrated H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonian, a nonintegrable and mixed-type system, and the general case at the saddle energy where the system is fully chaotic. Based on Husimi quantum surface of sections (QSOS), we find that in the mixed-type system, the fraction of mixed eigenstates in an energy shell $[E-\delta E/2, E+\delta E/2]$ with $\delta E\ll E$ shows a power-law decay with respect to the decreasing Planck constant $\hbar$. Defining the localization measures in terms of the R\'enyi-Wehrl entropy, in both the mixed-type and fully chaotic systems, we find a better fit with the beta distribution and a lesser degree of localization, in the distribution of localization measures of chaotic eigenstates, as the controlling ratio $\alpha_\mathcal{L} = t_H /t_T$ between the Heisenberg time $t_H$ and the classical transport time $t_T$ increases. This transition with respect to $\alpha_\mathcal{L}$ and the power-law decay of the mixed states, together provide supporting evidence for the principle of uniform semiclassical condensation (PUSC) in the semiclassical limit. Moreover, we find that in the general case which is fully chaotic, the maximally localized state, is influenced by the stable and unstable manifold of the saddles (hyperbolic fixed points), while the maximally extended state notably avoids these points, extending across the remaining space, complementing each other.
