Abstract
Two statistical properties, the nearest neighbor energy level spacing distr ibution P(s) and the spectral rigidity Delta(3)(L), are reported for energy level of a quantum well in a tilted magnetic field. Time-reversal (T) symm etry is broken in the system. The system is invariant under the anti-unitar y combination of symmetric operations which include T, leading to what is c alled false T-violation. With the increasing magnetic field, P(s) and Delta (3)(L) change from Brody type-like distribution to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) distribution. This result is a dear manifestation of quantum chaos in the system and is in agreement with the prediction of which the f alse T-violation suffices to give the energy spectra the properties of the GOE, instead of the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE). The result indicates t hat the system translates from mixed-type state to quantum chaotic state. H owever, the spectral rigidity Delta(3) (L) turns into GUE with the magnetic field increasing. The different demonstration of P(s) and the Delta(3)(L) is due to the counting of only finite semi-classical orbits.
