The time scale T0 ∝|ln �| is the Ehrenfest time τE of the Andreev billiard,<br />

<strong>to</strong> which we will return in Sect. 8.<br />

The range of validity of adiabatic quantization is determin<strong>ed</strong> by the requirement<br />

that the drift δx, δpx upon one iteration of the Poincaré map should<br />

be small compar<strong>ed</strong> <strong>to</strong> the characteristic values W, pF . An estimate is [61]<br />
