Abstract

Combining analytical and numerical methods, we investigate properties of the two-body random ensemble (TBRE). We compare the TBRE with the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrices. Using the geometric properties of the nuclear shell model, we discuss the information content of nuclear spectra and gain insight in the difficulties encountered when fitting the effective interaction. We exhibit the existence of correlations between spectral widths pertaining to different quantum numbers. Using these results, we deduce the preponderance of zero-spin ground states in the TBRE. We demonstrate the existence of correlations between spectra with different quantum numbers and/or in different nuclei.

Quadrupole collectivity in the two-body random ensemble

Journal Article Abramkina, Volha ; Volya, Alexander - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We conduct a systematic investigation of the nuclear collective dynamics that emerges in systems with two-body random interactions. We explore the development of the mean field and study its geometry. We investigate multipole collectivities in the many-body spectra and their dependence on the underlying two-body interaction Hamiltonian. The quadrupole-quadrupole interaction component appears to be dynamically dominating in the two-body random ensemble. This quadrupole coherence leads to rotational spectral features and thus suggests the formation of the deformed mean-field of a specific geometry.

Random matrix theory of singular values of rectangular complex matrices I: Exact formula of one-body distribution function in fixed-trace ensemble

Journal Article Adachi, Satoshi ; Toda, Mikito ; Kubotani, Hiroto - Annals of Physics (New York)

The fixed-trace ensemble of random complex matrices is the fundamental model that excellently describes the entanglement in the quantum states realized in a coupled system by its strongly chaotic dynamical evolution [see H. Kubotani, S. Adachi, M. Toda, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 (2008) 240501]. The fixed-trace ensemble fully takes into account the conservation of probability for quantum states. The present paper derives for the first time the exact analytical formula of the one-body distribution function of singular values of random complex matrices in the fixed-trace ensemble. The distribution function of singular values (i.e. Schmidt eigenvalues) of a quantum state ismore »« less

New puzzle for many-body systems with random two-body interactions

Journal Article Johnson, Calvin W. ; Nam, Hai Ah - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We continue a series of numerical experiments on many-body systems with random two-body interactions, by examining correlations in ratios in excitation energies of yrast J=0,2,4,6,8 states. Previous studies, limited only to J=0,2,4 states, had shown strong correlations in boson systems but not fermion systems. By including J{>=}6 states and considering different scatter plots, strong correlations between ratios of yrast excitation energies appear in both boson and fermion systems. Such correlations agree with real nuclear data and include the well-known limits of seniority, vibrations, and rotations.

Wave Function Structure in Two-Body Random Matrix Ensembles

Journal Article Kaplan, Lev ; Papenbrock, Thomas - Physical Review Letters

We study the structure of eigenstates in two-body interaction random matrix ensembles and find significant deviations from random matrix theory expectations. The deviations are most prominent in the tails of the spectral density and indicate localization of the eigenstates in Fock space. Using ideas related to scar theory we derive an analytical formula that relates fluctuations in wave function intensities to fluctuations of the two-body interaction matrix elements. Numerical results for many-body fermion systems agree well with the theoretical predictions. (c) 2000 The American Physical Society.
