Quantum scars#
The stadium billiard’s bouncing-ball scarred eigenstate family, the scar-enhancement diagnostic, and a Husimi phase-space view of a scarred state’s wall slice; and Heller’s wavepacket-recurrence picture of the spectrum, with Herman-Kluk propagation in a Morse well; and Berry’s random-wave description of the eigenstates that are not scarred.
