Research

We study classical and quantum aspects of chaotic systems using analytical and numerical tools.

A central goal are the fingerprints of classically chaotic dynamics in quantum mechanics, e.g.

• statistical properties of energy levels
• structure of eigenfunctions 
• tunneling in phase space
• theory for experimental applications:
  micro wave billiards, optical micro lasers, ultra-cold gases

Specific research topics are e.g.

• chaos in higher-dimensional systems
• structure of eigenfunctions in open systems
• tunneling in systems with a mixed phase space

• non-equilibrium states in time-periodically driven systems
