Noninteracting many-body systems exhibit Poisson-like spectral fluctuations at high energies. However, chaotic mean fields cause deviations from these statistics beyond a critical energy scale, revealing quantum chaos characteristics.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistical physics
  • Chaos theory

Background:

  • Energy level spectra statistical properties are key to understanding quantum chaos.
  • Noninteracting many-body systems are assumed to show Poisson fluctuations, but lack rigorous proof.
  • Previous studies focused on systems like quantum billiards, atoms, and atomic nuclei.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To rigorously investigate the spectral fluctuations of noninteracting identical particles in a mean field.
  • To analyze how these fluctuations evolve with the number of particles (N) and energy.
  • To determine the conditions under which Poisson statistics hold and when deviations occur.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic numerical calculations were performed.
  • A rigorous derivation was developed.

  • The study analyzed spectral fluctuations in relation to particle number and energy levels.

    • Main Results:

    • For N ≥ 2, spectra exhibit Poisson fluctuations at sufficiently high excitation energies.
    • A critical energy scale, L(c), was identified.
    • Beyond L(c), fluctuations deviate from Poisson statistics when the mean field is chaotic.

    Conclusions:

    • Noninteracting many-body systems display Poisson fluctuations at high energies, confirming prior assumptions.
    • The chaotic nature of the mean field influences spectral statistics beyond a critical energy.
    • This work provides a rigorous framework for understanding quantum chaos in many-body systems.
