Directed Quantum Chaos

Abstract

Quantum disordered problems with a direction (imaginary vector-potential) are discussed and mapped onto a supermatrix sigma-model. It is argued that the $0D$ version of the sigma-model may describe a broad class of phenomena that can be called directed quantum chaos. It is demonstrated by explicit calculations that these problems are equivalent to problems of theory of random asymmetric or non-Hermitian matrices. A joint probability of complex eigenvalues is obtained. The fraction of states with real eigenvalues proves to be always finite for time reversal invariant systems.
