Shnirelman theorem refers to the asymptotic properties of eigenfunctions of the Schroedinger operator in case of a classically chaotic system. It says that for almost all eigenvalues the probability of finding the system in a vicinity of a given classical state is uniformly distributed along the surface of constant energy in the phase space.
