Quantum scar is an intriguing phenomenon in quantum or wave dynamics that the wavefunction takes an exceptionally large value around an unstable periodic orbit. It has attracted much attention and advances the understanding of the semiclassical quantization. Most of previous researches involving quantum scars focus on hard-wall quantum billiards. Here we investigate the quantum billiard with a smooth confinement potential which possesses complex classical dynamics. We demonstrate that the semiclassical quantization approach works well for both the stable and unstable classical periodic orbit, besides the fact that the shape of the orbits varies as the energy increases or even the stability switches. The recurrence rule of the quantum scars in this complex solf-wall billiard differs from that of the hard-wall nonrelativistic quantum billiard, such as being equally spaced in energy instead of being equally spaced in the square root of energy. These results implement the previous knowledge and may be used for understanding the measurements of density of states and transport properties in two-dimensional electron systems with random long-range impurities.

图 1 (a)二维谐振子势 ((2)式), 其中
$ L_0 $ 是系统的特征尺度,$ \omega'_x L_0 /(\sqrt{2}a) = 1 $ ,$ \omega'_y = 2\omega'_x $ . 为了破坏对称性, 我们在$ (x_{\delta}/L_0, y_{\delta}/L_0) = (-0.278, -0.226) $ 处加了一个$ \delta(x-x_0, y-y_0) $ 函数势; (b)在势场(a)的基础上, 加入了一个高斯势场$ V_{\rm G} = U{\rm e}^{-[(x-x_{\rm G})^2+(y-y_{\rm G})^2]/(2\sigma^2)} $ , 其中$ U = 1 t $ ,$ \sigma/L_0 = 0.2828 $ ,$ (x_{\rm G}/L_0, y_{\rm G}/L_0) = (-0.3441, 0.1226) $ . 这样整个势场形成左右两个谷, 一个峰, 其中右侧谷底的位置为$ (x_{\rm V}/L_0, y_{\rm V}/L_0) = (0.3574, -0.0179) $ , 对应的势能为$ V_{\min} = 0.1053 t $ . 两个势谷之间存在两个鞍点, 如叉号所标示的位置, 对应的势能分别为0.591t和0.976tFigure 1. (a) Two-dimensional harmonic potential (Eq. (2)), where
$ L_0 $ is the character scale of the system,$ \omega'_x L_0 /(\sqrt{2}a) = 1 $ , and$ \omega'_y = 2\omega'_x $ . To break the discrete symmetry, we added a$ \delta(x-x_0, y-y_0) $ potential at$ (x_{\delta}/L_0, y_{\delta}/L_0) = (-0.278, -0.226) $ ; (b) On the potential given in Fig.(a), we added an additional Gaussian potential$ V_{\rm G} = U{\rm e}^{-[(x-x_{\rm G})^2+(y-y_{\rm G})^2]/(2\sigma^2)} $ , where$ U = 1 t $ ,$ \sigma/L_0 = 0.2828 $ , and$ (x_{\rm G}/L_0, y_{\rm G}/L_0) = (-0.3441, 0.1226) $ . Thus the potential field forms two valleys and one peak, and the position of the bottom of the right valley is$ (x_{\rm V}/L_0, y_{\rm V}/L_0) = (0.3574, -0.0179) $ , with corresponding potential$ V_{\min} = 0.1053 t $ . There are two saddle points between the two valleys, as marked by the crosses, with corresponding potential values 0.591t and 0.976t.

$ p_{//} = 0 $ ,$ \theta/(2{\text{π}})\approx 0.1 $ and$ 0.6 $ in Fig. 2, and (C2) corresponds to the center points of the KAM islands for$ p_{//} = 0 $ ,$ \theta/(2{\text{π}})\approx 0.33 $ and$ 0.86 $ in Fig. 2(a).

The quantum numbers
$ n $ along the trajectory vs. energy for bouncing ball states in the modified harmonic potential shown in Fig. 1(b) for C1 orbits (a) and C2 orbits (b). Crosses are the numbers of wavelengthes counted from the wavefunctions minus one, circles are derived from the semiclassical formulas. In each panel, the upper set of points are for$ m = 0 $ , and the lower set of points are for$ m = 1 $ . For C2 orbits, only when energy is small there are$ m = 1 $ states. Insets show the difference$ \Delta n $ (solid circles, left coordinates) between these two methods, and$ \omega_o $ obtained from$ E_{n, 1}-E_{n, 0} $ (empty circles, right coordinates), where the horizontal dashed line is the$ \omega_o $ obtained from fitting to the data, and the corresponding energies$ E_o = \hbar \omega_o /2 $ are$ 0.0141 t $ and$ 0.0121 t $ for C1 and C2 orbits, respectively.
图 8 沿轨道方向量子数
$ n $ 与能量的依赖关系. 叉号为根据波函数数出来的波长数减1, 圆圈为根据半经典公式得到的$ n $ . 这里所有态的横截量子数$ m $ 均为$ 0 $ . (a)—(d)分别对应第三类(C3)、第四类(C4)、第五类(C5)、第六类(C6)轨道, 对应的$ E_o $ 分别为 0.0220$ t $ , 0.0013$ t $ , 0.0280$ t $ , 和0.0193$ t $ . 图中小图展示了一些标准的疤痕态及其对应的经典轨道, 以及两种$ n $ 的差值. C3只在能量为$ 0.35 t $ 时C2 失稳后才出现. C4为C2 的另外一支不稳定轨道, 只在能量超过$ 0.95 t $ 后才稳定. C5和C6 是连接两个势谷的轨道, 只在较高能级时出现Figure 8. The quantum numbers
$ n $ along the trajectory vs energy.$ m = 0 $ for all cases. Crosses are the numbers of wavelengthes counted from the wavefunctions minus one, circles are derived from the semiclassical formulas. (a)–(d) correspond to C3-C6 orbits, with$ E_{o} = 0.0220\, t $ ,$ 0.0013\, t $ ,$ 0.0280\, t $ and$ 0.0193\, t $ , respectively. Insets show some typical scarring states and the corresponding classical orbits, and the difference$ \Delta n $ between these two methods. Note that C3 orbits only appear for$ E > 0.35 t $ when C2 becomes unstable. C4 is the other unstable branch of C2, and becomes stable only for$ E > 0.95 t $ . C5 and C6 are orbits connecting the two potential valleys, only appear when higher energy is high enough. -
