Quantum gaps and classical orbits in a rotating two-dimensional harmonic oscillator
Abstract
The spectrum of a particle in a rotating two-dimensional harmonic oscillator is studied as a function of the cranking frequency. The occurrence of energy gaps is linked to classical periodic orbits. Special attention is paid to the Farey fan pattern generated beyond the Landau limit.
