Quantum revivals in two degrees of freedom integrable systems: the torus case (Q2883247)

The author investigates the autocorrelation function in the semiclassical limit for a quantum Hamiltonian of the form \(P_h = F(P_1, P_2)\) where \(F\) is a polynomial and \(P_1, P_2\) are semiclassical one dimensional harmonic oscillators. Given an initial state \(\psi_0\), its autocorrelation function is defined as \(a_{\psi_0}(t) = | \langle \psi(t), \psi_0 \rangle |\) where \(\psi(t) = \mathrm{e}^{-i(t/h)F(P_1,P_2)}\psi_0\). The asyptotics of \(a_{\psi_0}(t)\) for \(h\to 0\) are studied using expansion in Taylor series at first and second order.
