The Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics is used in order to describe the measurement process in an intuitive way without a reduction postulate in the framework of a deterministic single system theory. Thereby the motion of the hidden classical particle is chaotic during almost all nontrivial measurement processes. For the correct reproduction of experimental results, it is further essential that the distribution function $P(x)$ of the results of a position measurement is identical with $|Ψ|^2$ of the wavefunction $Ψ$ of the single system under consideration. It is shown that this feature is not an additional assumption, but can be derived strictly from the chaotic motion of a single system during a sequence of measurements, providing a completely deterministic picture of the statistical features of quantum mechanics.The Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics is used in order to describe the measurement process in an intuitive way without a reduction postulate in the framework of a deterministic single system theory.

Classical approach to equilibrium of out-of-time ordered correlators in mixed systems

Tomás Notenson, Ignacio García-Mata, Augusto J. Roncaglia +1 more

The out-of-time ordered correlator (OTOC) is a measure of scrambling of quantum information. Scrambling is intuitively considered to be a significant feature of chaotic systems, and thus, the OTOC is widely used as a measure of chaos. For short times exponential growth is related to the classical Lyapunov exponent, sometimes known as the butterfly effect. At long times the OTOC attains an average equilibrium value with possible oscillations. For fully chaotic systems the approach to the asymptotic regime is exponential, with a rate given by the classical Ruelle-Pollicott resonances. In this work, we extend this notion to the more generic case of systems with mixed dynamics, in particular using the standard map, and we are able to show that the relaxation to equilibrium of the OTOC is governed by generalized classical resonances.The out-of-time ordered correlator (OTOC) is a measure of scrambling of quantum information.

Dynamical features of a classically chaotic quantum system: Symmetry breaking and the disappearance of the squeezing effect

Rui-hua Xie, Gong-ou Xu

Dynamical symmetry and squeezing effect have been investigated in a classically chaotic quantum system [M. Ku\ifmmode \acute{s}\else \'{s}\fi{}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 54, 1343 (1985)] when it is restricted to the following initial condition: the atom in its SU(2) coherent state and the field in the vacuum state. In the regime of classically regular motion, dynamical symmetry and squeezing effects have been exposed under proper choice of the atomic coherent state; but, in that of classically chaotic motion, the symmetry is destroyed thoroughly and the squeezing effect disappears. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.Dynamical symmetry and squeezing effect have been investigated in a classically chaotic quantum system [M.
