3 ONE-BODY CHAOS SHAPE (BOUNDARY CONDITIONS) MANY-BODY CHAOS INTERACTION BETWEEN PARTICLES Nuclear Shell Model realistic testing ground Fermi system with mean field and strong interaction Exact solution in finite space Good agreement with experiment Conservation laws and symmetry classes Variable parameters Sufficiently large dimensions (statistics) Sufficiently low dimensions Observables: energy levels (spectral statistics) wave functions (complexity) transitions (correlations) destruction of symmetries cross sections (correlations) Heavy nuclei dramatic growth of dimensions
4 MANY-BODY QUANTUM CHAOS AS AN INSTRUMENT SPECTRAL STATISTICS signature of chaos - missing levels - purity of quantum numbers - statistical weight of subsequences - presence of time-reversal invariance EXPERIMENTAL TOOL unresolved fine structure - width distribution - damping of collective modes NEW PHYSICS - statistical enhancement of weak perturbations (parity violation in neutron scattering and fission) - mass fluctuations - chaos on the border with continuum THEORETICAL CHALLENGES - order our of chaos - chaos and thermalization - development of computational tools - new approximations in many-body problem
5 TYPICAL COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM DIAGONALIZATION OF HUGE MATRICES (dimensions dramatically grow with the particle number) Practically we need not more than few dozens is the rest just useless garbage? Process of progressive truncation * how to order? * is it convergent? * how rapidly? * in what basis? * which observables? Do we need the exact energy values? Mass predictions Rotational and vibrational spectra Drip line position Level density Astrophysical applications
6 Banded GOE Full GOE GROUND STATE ENERGY OF RANDOM MATRICES EXPONENTIAL CONVERGENCE SPECIFIC PROPERTY of RANDOM MATRICES?

12 IDEA of GEOMETRIC CHAOTICITY Angular momentum coupling as a random process Bethe (1936) j(a) + j(b) = J(ab) + j(c) = J(abc) + j(d) = J(abcd) Many quasi-random paths = J Statistical theory of parentage coefficients? Effective Hamiltonian of classes Interacting boson models, quantum dots,

15 Nuclear Data Ensemble 1407 resonance energies 30 sequences For 27 nuclei Neutron resonances Proton resonances (n,gamma) reactions Regular spectra = L/15 (universal for small L) R. Haq et al SPECTRAL RIGIDITY Chaotic spectra = a log L +b for L>>1
16 Spectral rigidity (calculations for 40Ca in the region of ISGQR) [Aiba et al. 2003] Critical dependence on interaction between 2p-2h states
17 Purity? Mixing levels? 235U, J=3 or 4, 960 lowest levels f=0.44 Data agree with f=(7/16)=0.44 0, 4% and 10% missing D and 4% missing levels D. Mulhall et al.2007

Van HOVE Quantum ergodicity L. D. LANDAU and E. M. LIFSHITZ Statistical Physics Average over the equilibrium ensemble should coincide with the expectation value in a generic individual eigenstate of the same energy the results of measurements in a closed system do not depend on exact microscopic conditions or phase relationships if the eigenstates at the same energy have similar macroscopic properties TOOL: MANY-BODY QUANTUM CHAOS

50 STATISTICAL MECHANICS of CLOSED MESOSCOPIC SYSTEMS * SPECIAL ROLE OF MEAN FIELD BASIS (separation of regular and chaotic motion; mean field out of chaos) * CHAOTIC INTERACTION as HEAT BATH * SELF CONSISTENCY OF mean field, interaction and thermometer * SIMILARITY OF CHAOTIC WAVE FUNCTIONS * SMEARED PHASE TRANSITIONS * CONTINUUM EFFECTS (IRREVERSIBLE DECAY) new effects when widths are of the order of spacings restoration of symmetries super-radiant and trapped states conductance fluctuations
51 GLOBAL PROBLEMS 1. Do we understand the role of incoherent interactions in many-body physics? 2. Correlations between classes of states with different symmetry governed by the same Hamiltonian 3. New approach to many-body theory for mesoscopic systems instead of blunt diagonalization - mean field out of chaos, coherent modes plus thermalized chaotic background 4. Internal and external chaos 5. Chaos-free scalable quantum computing
52 B. V. CHIRIKOV : The source of new information is always chaotic. Assuming farther that any creative activity, science including, is supposed to be such a source, we come to an interesting conclusion that any such activity has to be (partly!) chaotic. This is the creative side of chaos.
