Quantum ergodicity for quantum graphs without back-scattering

We give an estimate of the quantum variance for d-regular graphs quantised with boundary scattering matrices that prohibit back-scattering. For families of graphs that are expanders, with few short cycles, our estimate leads to quantum ergodicity for these families of graphs. Our proof is based on a...

description We give an estimate of the quantum variance for d-regular graphs quantised with boundary scattering matrices that prohibit back-scattering. For families of graphs that are expanders, with few short cycles, our estimate leads to quantum ergodicity for these families of graphs. Our proof is based on a uniform control of an associated random walk on the bonds of the graph. We show that recent constructions of Ramanujan graphs, and asymptotically almost surely, random d-regular graphs, satisfy the necessary conditions to conclude that quantum ergodicity holds.
