Upper bounds on the rate of quantum ergodicity
  We study the semiclassical behaviour of eigenfunctions of quantum systems with ergodic classical limit. By the quantum ergodicity theorem almost all of these eigenfunctions become equidistributed in a weak sense. We give a simple derivation of an upper bound of order $\abs{\ln\hbar}^{-1}$ on the rate of quantum ergodicity if the classical system is ergodic with a certain rate. In addition we obtain a similar bound on transition amplitudes if the classical system is weak mixing. Both results generalise previous ones by Zelditch. We then extend the results to some classes of quantised maps on the torus and obtain a logarithmic rate for perturbed cat-maps and a sharp algebraic rate for parabolic maps.
