Quantum Chaos| Quantum Chaos |
In General > s.a. quantum statistical mechanics.
* Idea: The study of
quantum systems whose classical counterparts are chaotic.
* History: 2001, The field is
now coming of age; Key people have been M Gutzwiller (trace formula), M Berry.
* Issues: Some classically
chaotic systems are not chaotic when quantized; How general is this?
* Picture: There seems to be
no sensitive dependence on initial conditions, although some authors disagree;
Motion becomes stable after some time (that goes to ∞ as \(\hbar\)
→ 0!), but there are other qualitative effects, such as repulsion of the
energy levels for systems whose classical counterparts are chaotic.
* Gutzwiller's trace formula:
Expresses the energy level density in terms of a sum over classical unstable
orbits; > s.a. particle creation.
* Berry's conjecture: The
energy eigenfunctions of a bounded, isolated, quantum chaotic system
appear to be Gaussian random variables, in the sense that
[@ Srednicki PRE(94)cm,
ANYAS(95)cm/94]
lima → ∞ ∫ dX ψa(X + X1) ... ψa(X + Xn) = ∑pairs J(Xi1 − Xi2) ... J(Xin−1 − Xin) ,
where the correlation function
J(X) ~ ∫ dP exp(i P · X/\(\hbar\)) δ(H(P, X) − Ua) , J(0) = 1 .
Decoherence, Entanglement, Relation Classical–Quantum
> s.a. decoherence; semiclassical quantum mechanics.
* Issue: There is an apparent paradox
in the fact that classically chaotic systems are regular in the quantum regime, with
no signature of classical chaos whatsoever apparent in the corresponding quantum
dynamics; In optomechanics at least, transient chaos provides a resolution.
* In general: Results from spin chains
indicate that chaos reduces entanglement.
