In this paper we study random features manifested in components of energy eigenfunctions of quantum chaotic systems, given in the basis of unperturbed, integrable systems. Based on semiclassical analysis, particularly on Berry's conjecture, it is shown that the components in classically allowed regions can be regarded as Gaussian random numbers in a certain sense, when appropriately rescaled with respect to the average shape of the eigenfunctions. This suggests that when a perturbed system changes from integrable to chaotic, deviation of the distribution of rescaled components in classically allowed regions from the Gaussian distribution may be employed as a measure for the “distance” to quantum chaos. Numerical simulations performed in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model and the Dicke model show that this deviation coincides with the deviation of the nearest-level-spacing distribution from the prediction of random-matrix theory. Similar numerical results are also obtained in two models without classical counterpart.
