NONLINEAR DYNAMICS: QUANTUM CHAOS ----------------------------------------------------------- Georgia Tech PHYS 7224 Spring semester 2002 Predrag Cvitanovic' Lecture 9 Thu, Feb 7 2002 12:05-13:25 in Howey S106 Gutzwiller-Voros determinant, 1-d WKB quantization ------------------------------------------------- Reading: -------- Classical and Quantum Chaos --- www.nbi.dk/ChaosBook/postscript.html print (if anything) pp. 500-505 chapter 22 - Semiclassical quantization For the time being this will remain mysterious, but the Gutzwiller-Voros determinant is preferrable to the Gutzwiller trace, so I will derive it. The we will recapitulate 1-d WKB quantization in a potential well - stuff from any QM textbook, and I should have probably done it before torturing you with 7 consecutive jacobians... Next time. -------------------------------------------------------------- Problem set from Tuesday email: due Tue Feb 12 2002, in the class, or Predrag's mailbox or hand it to Y. Lan.
