- Abstract: Chaos plays a crucial role in numerous natural phenomena, but its quantum nature has remained large elusive. One intriguing quantum-chaotic phenomenon is the scarring of a single-particle wavefunction, where the quantum probability density is enhanced in the vicinity of a classical periodic orbit. These quantum scars illustrate the quantum suppression of classical chaos, offering a unique way to explore the classical-quantum relationship beyond conventional limits. In this study, we establish an ergodicity theorem for slacking a group of adjacent eigenstates, revealing the aspect of antiscarring -- the reduction of probability density along a periodic orbit generating the corresponding scars. We thereafter apply these two concepts to variational scars in a disordered quantum well, and finally discuss their broader implications, suggesting potential experimental approaches to observe this phenomenon.

We compute the tunneling action in this double scaling limit, and compare it to the transition amplitude from the vacuum to a highly excited state.
Our results, exact in the semiclassical limit, show that the two expressions coincide, apart from an irreducible and surprising instanton contribution.

We discuss the manifestation of phase space dynamics on local ergodic behavior of its quantum counterpart and quantum scarring phenomena.
A transition to chaos occurs by increasing the kicking strength, and in the mixed phase space, the islands of regular motions within the chaotic sea clearly exhibit deviation from ergodicity.
Interestingly, the reminiscence of unstable orbits and fixed points can be identified as scars in quantum states, exhibiting athermal behavior and violation of Berry's conjecture for ergodic states.
