Uniform Semiclassical Wavepacket Propagation and Eigenstate Extraction in a Smooth Chaotic System

Abstract

A uniform semiclassical propagator is used to time evolve a wavepacket in a smooth Hamiltonian system at energies for which the underlying classical motion is chaotic. The propagated wavepacket is Fourier transformed to yield a scarred eigenstate.Comment: Postscript file is tar-compressed and uuencoded (342K); postscript file produced is 1216
