Abstract
We have studied energy-level statistics of the diamagnetic lithium Rydberg spectrum in a regime of regular classical motion. The distribution of adjacent levels displays the Poisson-type behavior that has been reported in theoretical studies of numerous systems. Long-range correlations in the spectrum can be related simply to the number of underlying manifolds.Keywords
