Summary
We created quantum Hamiltonians exhibiting Gaussian orthogonal (GOE) or Gaussian unitary (GUE) statistics. These systems are integrable due to conserved boson number, offering a novel construction method.
Area of Science:
- Quantum mechanics
- Statistical physics
- Many-body systems
Background:
- Ensembles of Hamiltonians are crucial for understanding complex quantum systems.
- Gaussian ensembles (GOE, GUE) describe random matrix properties.
- Integrable systems possess conserved quantities, simplifying their analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To construct an ensemble of quantum Hamiltonians with specific statistical properties.
- To demonstrate that these Hamiltonians can be integrable.
- To explore the connection between integrability and random matrix theory.
Main Methods:
- Constructing second-quantized Hamiltonians with two bosonic degrees of freedom.
- Employing reverse engineering based on the classical limit of interacting bosons.
- Utilizing Heisenberg's association of boson operators to action-angle variables.
- Selecting n-body random interactions and degenerate energy levels.
Main Results:
- The constructed ensemble members exhibit Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) or Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) statistics with probability one.
- These Hamiltonians possess an additional integral of motion: the boson number, rendering them integrable.
- The method connects random matrix theory with integrable systems through a novel construction.
Conclusions:
- A method for constructing integrable quantum Hamiltonians with GOE/GUE statistics is presented.
- The boson number serves as a key integral of motion in these systems.
- This work bridges concepts from random matrix theory and the study of integrable systems.
