It is about 100 years ago that many eminent physicists around Bohr had failed to generalize Bohr’s successful quantization of the hydrogen problem to the next simplest atom, helium. This led to a crisis of this old quantum “theory”, followed by the birth of the then new quantum theory: quantum mechanics a la Schrödinger and Heisenberg. Based on advances in semiclassical theory of quantum systems with a classically chaotic limit it was eventually possible to develop a semiclassical periodic-orbit theory for the spectrum of the helium atom. While being conceptually simple, helium as a fundamental three-body Coulomb problem however shows a highly complex spectral structure, reflecting a complicated symplectic phase space structure of its classical counterpart, the classical three-body problem.
In the first part of my talk I will outline the development towards a new old quantum theory for the helium atom, based on advanced semiclassical methods from quantum chaos theory. In the second part I will consider quantization of chaotic Hamiltonian dynamics more generally and focus on the particular role (in quantum chaos) of braided classical trajectory bundles as a structural element of symplectic dynamics.
