Symmetry and dynamics universality of supermetal in quantum chaos
Abstract
Chaotic systems exhibit rich quantum dynamical behaviors ranging from dynamical localization to normal diffusion to ballistic motion. Dynamical localization and normal diffusion simulate electron motion in an impure crystal with a vanishing and finite conductivity, i.e., an "Anderson insulator" and a "metal", respectively. Ballistic motion simulates a perfect crystal with diverging conductivity, i.e., a "supermetal". We analytically find and numerically confirm that, for a large class of chaotic systems, the metal-supermetal dynamics crossover occurs and is universal, determined only by the system's symmetry. Furthermore, we show that the universality of this dynamics crossover is identical to that of eigenfunction and spectral fluctuations described by the random matrix theory.
