• Abstract: Eigenlevel correlation diagrams has proven to be a very useful tool to understand eigenstate characteristics of classically chaotic systems. In particular, we showed in a previous publication [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 944 (1998)] how to unveil the scarring mechanism, a cornerstone in the theory of quantum chaos, using the Planck constant as the correlation parameter. By increasing Planck constant, we induced a transition from order to chaos, in which scarred wavefunctions appeared as the interaction of pairs of eigenstates in broad avoided crossings, forming a well defined frontier in the correlation diagram. In this paper, we demonstrate that this frontier can be obtained by means of the semiclassical quantization of the involved scarring periodic orbits. Additionally, in order to calculate the Maslov index of each scarring periodic orbit, which is necessary for the semiclassical quantization procedure, we introduce a novel straightforward method based on Lagrangian descriptors. We illustrate the theory using the vibrational eigenstates of the LiCN molecular system.

  We consider a benchmark system, the kicked top model, which displays chaotic behaviour in the classical version. We introduce for this scope the quasi-probability distribution behind the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) We compare the behavior of the nonclassicality with entanglement measures, such as the tripartite mutual information of the Hamiltonian.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• 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.

• Quantum Chaos in a Rydberg Atom System [0.0]
  A recent proposal by Hallam et al. suggested using the chaotic properties of the semiclassical equations of motion as a characterization of quantum chaos. We calculate the Lyapunov spectrum of the semiclassical theory approximating the quantum dynamics of a strongly interacting Rydberg atom array, which lead to periodic motion. We conclude that chaos in the TDVP equations does not correpond to phsyical properties of the system.
