Dynamical aspects of the quantum chaos border in localisation-delocalisation
transitions
Localisation phenomena in quantum systems can occur in very different circumstances:
localisation may be induced by disorder, by the integrability or quasi-integrability
of an underlying classical dynamics and can be found in non- or weakly interacting
multi-particle systems. Such systems can often be described in terms of a
Hamiltonian H = Ho + r V, with Ho being diagonal with Poisson distributed
entries and V denotes residual interactions. In many physical situations,
V is a sparsely filled matrix. We investigate the influence of the structure
of the perturbation on the localisation/delocalisation transition as the
interaction strength r increases. Using quantum graph techniques we find
universal scaling laws as well as dynamical effects based on how fast perturbations
can propagate through the system.
