On the semiclassical theory for universal transmission fluctuations in chaotic systems: the importance of unitarity
The standard semiclassical calculation of transmission correlation functions
for chaotic systems is severely influenced by unitarity problems. We show that
unitarity alone imposes a set of relationships between cross sections
correlation functions which go beyond the diagonal approximation. When these
relationships are properly used to supplement the semiclassical scheme we
obtain transmission correlation functions in full agreement with the exact
statistical theory and the experiment. Our approach also provides a novel
prediction for the transmission correlations in the case where time reversal
symmetry is present
Lyapunov exponent of many-particle systems: testing the stochastic approach
The stochastic approach to the determination of the largest Lyapunov exponent
of a many-particle system is tested in the so-called mean-field
XY-Hamiltonians. In weakly chaotic regimes, the stochastic approach relates the
Lyapunov exponent to a few statistical properties of the Hessian matrix of the
interaction, which can be calculated as suitable thermal averages. We have
verified that there is a satisfactory quantitative agreement between theory and
simulations in the disordered phases of the XY models, either with attractive
or repulsive interactions. Part of the success of the theory is due to the
possibility of predicting the shape of the required correlation functions,
because this permits the calculation of correlation times as thermal averages.Comment: 11 pages including 6 figure
Semiclassical approach to fidelity amplitude
The fidelity amplitude is a quantity of paramount importance in echo type
experiments. We use semiclassical theory to study the average fidelity
amplitude for quantum chaotic systems under external perturbation. We explain
analytically two extreme cases: the random dynamics limit --attained
approximately by strongly chaotic systems-- and the random perturbation limit,
which shows a Lyapunov decay. Numerical simulations help us bridge the gap
between both extreme cases.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures. Version closest to published versio
Semiclassical expansion of parametric correlation functions of the quantum time delay
We derive semiclassical periodic orbit expansions for a correlation function
of the Wigner time delay. We consider the Fourier transform of the two-point
correlation function, the form factor , that depends on the
number of open channels , a non-symmetry breaking parameter , and a
symmetry breaking parameter . Several terms in the Taylor expansion about
, which depend on all parameters, are shown to be identical to those
obtained from Random Matrix Theory.Comment: 21 pages, no figure
Measuring the Lyapunov exponent using quantum mechanics
We study the time evolution of two wave packets prepared at the same initial
state, but evolving under slightly different Hamiltonians. For chaotic systems,
we determine the circumstances that lead to an exponential decay with time of
the wave packet overlap function. We show that for sufficiently weak
perturbations, the exponential decay follows a Fermi golden rule, while by
making the difference between the two Hamiltonians larger, the characteristic
exponential decay time becomes the Lyapunov exponent of the classical system.
We illustrate our theoretical findings by investigating numerically the overlap
decay function of a two-dimensional dynamical system.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Perfil de uso y rango de dosis de analgésicos en un hospital de cuarto nivel en Bogotå.
El dolor es uno de los sĂntomas mĂĄs frecuentes e importantes en el paciente hospitalizado, con una frecuencia hasta de 76.9%. El adecuado control del mismo es uno de los objetivos terapĂ©uticos mĂĄs buscados. Para lograr este objetivo, frecuentemente suelen usarse dosis inadecuadas de analgĂ©sicos, lo cual ocasiona reacciones adversas en los pacientes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar los analgĂ©sicos de mayor uso en el paciente adulto hospitalizado y el rango de dosis de los mismos en un hospital de cuarto nivel de la ciudad de BogotĂĄ.
Orthogonality Catastrophe in Parametric Random Matrices
We study the orthogonality catastrophe due to a parametric change of the
single-particle (mean field) Hamiltonian of an ergodic system. The Hamiltonian
is modeled by a suitable random matrix ensemble. We show that the overlap
between the original and the parametrically modified many-body ground states,
, taken as Slater determinants, decreases like , where is
the number of electrons in the systems, is a numerical constant of the
order of one, and is the deformation measured in units of the typical
distance between anticrossings. We show that the statistical fluctuations of
are largely due to properties of the levels near the Fermi energy.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
Semiclassical Wigner distribution for two-mode entangled state
We derive the steady state solution of the Fokker-Planck equation that
describes the dynamics of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator in
the truncated Wigner representation of the density operator. We assume that the
pump mode is strongly damped, which permits its adiabatic elimination. When the
elimination is correctly executed, the resulting stochastic equations contain
multiplicative noise terms, and do not admit a potential solution. However, we
develop an heuristic scheme leading to a satisfactory steady-state solution.
This provides a clear view of the intracavity two-mode entangled state valid in
all operating regimes of the OPO. A nongaussian distribution is obtained for
the above threshold solution.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures. arXiv admin note: this contains the content of

Coulomb blockade conductance peak fluctuations in quantum dots and the independent particle model
We study the combined effect of finite temperature, underlying classical
dynamics, and deformations on the statistical properties of Coulomb blockade
conductance peaks in quantum dots. These effects are considered in the context
of the single-particle plus constant-interaction theory of the Coulomb
blockade. We present numerical studies of two chaotic models, representative of
different mean-field potentials: a parametric random Hamiltonian and the smooth
stadium. In addition, we study conductance fluctuations for different
integrable confining potentials. For temperatures smaller than the mean level
spacing, our results indicate that the peak height distribution is nearly
always in good agreement with the available experimental data, irrespective of
the confining potential (integrable or chaotic). We find that the peak bunching
effect seen in the experiments is reproduced in the theoretical models under
certain special conditions. Although the independent particle model fails, in
general, to explain quantitatively the short-range part of the peak height
correlations observed experimentally, we argue that it allows for an
understanding of the long-range part.Comment: RevTex 3.1, 34 pages (including 13 EPS and PS figures), submitted to
