We study the effect of edge diffraction on the semiclassical analysis of two dimensional quantum systems by deriving a trace formula which incorporates paths hitting any number of vertices embedded in an arbitrary potential. This formula is used to study the cardioid billiard, which has a single vertex. The formula works well for most of the short orbits we analyzed but fails for a few diffractive orbits due to a breakdown in the formalism for certain geometries. We extend the symbolic dynamics to account for diffractive orbits and use it to show that in the presence of parity symmetry the trace formula decomposes in an elegant manner such that for the cardioid billiard the diffractive orbits have no effect on the odd spectrum. Including diffractive orbits helps resolve peaks in the density of even states but does not appear to affect their positions. An analysis of the level statistics shows no significant difference between spectra with and without diffraction.

The Gutzwiller trace formula is extended to include diffraction effects. The new trace formula involves periodic rays which have non-geometrical segments as a result of diffraction on the surfaces and edges of the scatter.
Let $Sigmasubsetmathbb{R}^d$ be a $C^infty$-smooth closed compact hypersurface, which splits the Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^d$ into two domains $Omega_pm$. In this note self-adjoint Schrodinger operators with $delta$ and $delta$-interactions supported on $Sigma$ are studied. For large enough $minmathbb{N}$ the difference of $m$th powers of resolvents of such a Schrodinger operator and the free Laplacian is known to belong to the trace class. We prove trace formulae, in which the trace of the resolvent power difference in $L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$ is written in terms of Neumann-to-Dirichlet maps on the boundary space $L^2(Sigma)$.
We conjecture the quantum analogue of the classical trace formulae for the integrals of motion of the quantum hyperbolic Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. This is done by departing from the classical construction where the corresponding model is obtained from the Heisenberg double by the Poisson reduction procedure. We also discuss some algebraic structures associated to the Lax matrix in the classical and quantum theory which arise upon introduction of the spectral parameter.

We study numerically the scaling properties of scars in stadium billiard. Using the semiclassical criterion, we have searched systematically the scars of the same type through a very wide range, from ground state to as high as the 1 millionth state. We have analyzed the integrated probability density along the periodic orbit. The numerical results confirm that the average intensity of certain types of scars is independent of $hbar$ rather than scales with $sqrt{hbar}$. Our findings confirm the theoretical predictions of Robnik (1989).
Conductance fluctuations have been studied in a soft wall stadium and a Sinai billiard defined by electrostatic gates on a high mobility semiconductor heterojunction. These reproducible magnetoconductance fluctuations are found to be fractal confirming recent theoretical predictions of quantum signatures in classically mixed (regular and chaotic) systems. The fractal character of the fluctuations provides direct evidence for a hierarchical phase space structure at the boundary between regular and chaotic motion.
