Constrained Quantum Mechanics: Chaos in Non-Planar Billiards
Salazar, R.; Tellez, G.
European Journal of Physics, v33 n4 p965-985 Jul 2012
We illustrate some of the techniques to identify chaos signatures at the quantum level using as guiding examples some systems where a particle is constrained to move on a radial symmetric, but non-planar, surface. In particular, two systems are studied: the case of a cone with an arbitrary contour or "dunce hat billiard" and the rectangular "billiard with an inner Gaussian surface." (Contains 14 figures and 1 footnote.)
