Overview
The course covers advanced topics in classical/quantum correspondence, focusing on results related to chaotic classical dynamics without classical counterparts. Students will learn about lower bounds on Laplacian eigenfunctions, observability for the Schrödinger equation, and spectral gaps on specific surfaces. The key tool used in the proofs is the fractal uncertainty principle. The teaching method includes theoretical explanations, illustrations, and applications to partial differential equations. This course is intended for individuals with a strong background in mathematics and an interest in quantum chaos and spectral theory.
