A linear chaotic quantum harmonic oscillator (Q1809008)

This very brief article examines the chaoticity in the sense of Li and Yorke of two linear operators on \(L^2(\mathbb R)\). The first, which is known to be topologically transitive, is shown to support a chaotic set in the sense of Li and Yorke. This (a little unclearly) shows Li-Yorke-chaoticity of a quantum oscillator. The second (related), parameter dependent operator, which is known to be Devaney-chaotic, is analogously argued to be Li-Yorke-chaotic for a range of parameter values and non-chaotic for the rest.
