We find that the ratio of each type of energy eigenstates in an energy shell $[E_{c}-\\Delta E/2,E_{c}+\\Delta E/2]$ is invariant with changing width $\\Delta E$ or Planck constant $\\hbar$ as long as the number of eigenstates in the shell is statistically large enough. We give an argument that such self-similarity in energy eigenstates is a general feature for all quantum systems, which is further illustrated numerically with various quantum systems, including circular billiard, double top model, kicked rotor, and Heisenberg XXZ model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-09-22T18:03:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "energy eigenstates", "quantum system", "self-similarity", "heisenberg xxz model", "circular billiard" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
