Quantum chaology, not quantum chaos

Michael Berry

Published Sep 1, 1989• 173 citations
Publisher

Abstract

There is no quantum chaos, in the sense of exponential sensitivity to initial conditions, but there are several novel quantum phenomena which reflect the presence of classical chaos. The study of these phenomena is quantum chaology.

Quantum chaos in elementary quantum mechanics

Yuri A. Dabaghian, Roderick V. Jensen

We introduce an analytical solution to one of the most familiar problems from the elementary quantum mechanics textbooks. The following discussion provides simple illustrations to a number of general concepts of quantum chaology, along with some recent developments in the field and a historical perspective on the subject.

Chaos in atomic physics

T. S. Monteiro

The influence of quantum chaos on small atomic systems is reviewed. It now seems clear that chaos in the usually understood sense (e.g. exponential sensitivity to perturbations) is not found in isolated quantum systems. However, there are phenomena which appear only when the corresponding classical system is chaotic. The stability of the classical dynamics, in other words whether it is regular or chaotic, has a profound effect on the character of the corresponding quantum spectrum and wavefunctions.

DIFFERENT FACETS OF CHAOS IN QUANTUM MECHANICS

Vincenzo Manfredi, Luca Salasnich

Nowadays there is no universally accepted definition of quantum chaos. In this paper we review and critically discuss different approaches to the subject, such as Quantum Chaology and the Random Matrix Theory. Then we analyze the problem of dynamical chaos and the time scales associated with chaos suppression in quantum mechanics.
