• Abstract: As the name indicates, a periodic orbit is a solution for a dynamical system that repeats itself in time. In the regular regime, periodic orbits are stable, while in the chaotic regime, they become unstable. The presence of unstable periodic orbits is directly associated with the phenomenon of quantum scarring, which restricts the degree of delocalization of the eigenstates and leads to revivals in the dynamics. Here, we study the Dicke model in the superradiant phase and identify two sets of fundamental periodic orbits. This experimentally realizable atom-photon model is regular at low energies and chaotic at high energies. We study the effects of the periodic orbits in the structure of the eigenstates in both regular and chaotic regimes and obtain their quantized energies. We also introduce a measure to quantify how much scarred an eigenstate gets by each family of periodic orbits and compare the dynamics of initial coherent states close and away from those orbits.

  We develop an algorithm to systematically identify and characterize periodic orbits in TDVP dynamics. We characterize the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser tori in the vicinity of stable periodic orbits and track the change of the periodic orbits as we modify the Hamiltonian parameters. Our results demonstrate that periodic orbits provide valuable insights into the TDVP approximation of quantum many-body evolution.

• Quantum scars in many-body systems [28.32223907511862]
  We show that quantum mechanics hinders chaos in many-body systems. Although the quantum eigenstates are thermal and strongly entangled, exponentially many of them are scarred. Scarring makes the system more likely to be found on an orbit it was on, retaining a memory of its past and thus weakly breaking ergodicity.

  We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities. metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating. We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

• Ubiquitous quantum scarring does not prevent ergodicity [0.0]
  In a classically chaotic system that is ergodic, any trajectory will be arbitrarily close to any point of the available phase space after a long time. This simplified picture was shaken by the discovery of quantum scarring. Our results show instead that all eigenstates of the chaotic Dicke model are actually scarred.

• Correspondence principle for many-body scars in ultracold Rydberg atoms [0.0]
  Recently, interest in quantum scars has been revived in a many-body setting of Rydberg atom chains. We show that quasimodes arise from a "requantisation" of previously established periodic orbits when quantum fluctuations are restored to all orders. Our results shed light on the TDVP classical system simultaneously playing the role of both the mean-field approximation and the system's classical limit.
