Abstract

We consider a class of simple quasi-one-dimensional classically nonintegrable systems that capture the essence of the periodic orbit structure of general hyperbolic nonintegrable dynamical systems. Their behavior is sufficiently simple to allow a detailed investigation of both classical and quantum regimes. Despite their classical chaoticity, these systems exhibit a “nonintegrable analogue” of the Einstein-Brillouin-Keller quantization formula that provides their spectra explicitly, state by state, by means of convergent periodic orbit expansions.
