Amplitude ordering of the trace formula for the two-particle disk billiard - art. no. 044102

摘要

For the periodic orbit quantization of a system of particles confined in a two-dimensional disk billiard. the proliferation of multiparticle periodic orbits with length precludes standard length truncation of the trace formula and alternative truncation schemes are necessary. An amplitude ordering of the single-particle periodic orbits reveals a quantum-classical correspondence for the angular momentum of a particle in the disk which is useful for the quantization of all the low energy states of the multiparticle problem. We explicitly show that a simple amplitude truncation of the trace formula better approximates the semiclassical density of states and in particular resolves closely spaced levels that are otherwise unresolved using the standard approach.
