Quantum Chaos Computing

The following images were created using the CRAY supercomputers available at the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute and Uppsala University in Sweden. Most of these pictures were generated between 1990 to 1994.

quantum_chaos_250.08.gif For SL(2,Z), R about 250.

quantum_chaos_500_cor.gif In a non-arithmetic group, R about 500.

quantum_chaos_250.07_cor.gif Likewise, but R about 250.

map.02.gif The trajectory of a closed horocycle with very small y-value on the modular domain SL(2,Z)\H.

map.04.gif Another such, but in a non-arithmetic group.

uppsala.1.gif A Maass waveform (i.e., quantum-mechanical particle) for SL(2,Z)\H having eigenfrequency R about 6051. Light blue depicts regions with highest probability. Core data produced by DH on ``Riemann'', a Cray YMP-EL4/1024 at Uppsala University, in the mid-1990s. What do you see???

thesis_gaussian_clt5.218.gif Automorphic function value-statistics along a closed horocycle in a non-arithmetic group. Using Cray-T3D. (There appears to be a central limit theorem as y tends 0.)

thesis_non_gaussian_clt3.224.gif Automorphic function value-statistics along a closed horocycle in SL(2,Z). Using Cray-T3D. (No central limit theorem.)

plot.08d.gif Histogram of an automorphic form's value along some closed horocycles in a non-arithmetic triangle group.
