— In this paper, we present an extension of the classical Quantum ergodicity Theorem, due to Shnirelman, to the case of Laplacians with discontinous metrics along interfaces. The “geodesic flow” is then no more a flow, but a Markov process due to the fact that rays can by reflected or refracted at the interfaces. We give also an example build by gluing together two flat Euclidean disks.
