Parametric statistics of zeros of Husimi representations of quantum chaotic eigenstates and random polynomials

Abstract

Local parametric statistics of zeros of Husimi representations of quantum eigenstates are introduced. It is conjectured that for a classically fully chaotic systems one should use the model of parametric statistics of complex roots of Gaussian random polynomials which is exactly solvable as demonstrated below. For example, the velocities (derivatives of zeros of Husimi function with respect to an external parameter) are predicted to obey a universal (non-Maxwellian) distribution ${d P(v)}/{dv^2} = 2/(\pi\sigma^2)(1 + |v|^2/\sigma^2)^{-3},$ where $\sigma^2$ is the mean square velocity. The conjecture is demonstrated numerically in a generic chaotic system with two degrees of freedom. Dynamical formulation of the ``zero-flow'' in terms of an integrable many-body dynamical system is given as well.
