Decoherence and the Correspondence Principle for Chaotic Systems
Violation of correspondence principle may occur for very macroscopic but isolated quantum systems on rather short timescales as illustrated by the case of Hyperion, the chaotically tumbling moon of Saturn, for which quantum and classical predictions are expected to diverge on a timescale of approximately 20 years. Motivated by Hyperion, we review salient features of “quantum chaos” and show tha...
متن کاملQUANTUM MECHANICS WITH CHAOS: Correspondence Principle, Measurement and Complexity
The true dynamical randomness is obtained as a natural fundamental property of deterministic quantum systems. It provides quantum chaos passing to the classical dynamical chaos under the ordinary semiclassical transition, which extends the correspondence principle to chaotic systems. In return one should accept the modified form of quantum formalism (presented by the Schrödinger equation) which...
متن کاملDecoherence, Chaos, Quantum-classical Correspondence, and the Algorithmic Arrow of Time
The environment – external or internal degrees of freedom coupled to the system – can, in effect, monitor some of its observables. As a result, the eigenstates of these observables decohere and behave like classical states: Continuous destruction of superpositions leads to environment-induced superselection (einselection). Here I investigate it in the context of quantum chaos (i. e., quantum dy...
متن کاملDriven Tunneling: Chaos and Decoherence
Chaotic tunneling in a driven double-well system is investigated in absence as well as in the presence of dissipation. As the constitutive mechanism of chaosassisted tunneling, we focus on the dynamics in the vicinity of three-level crossings in the quasienergy spectrum. They are formed when a tunnel doublet, located on a pair of symmetry-related tori in the classical phase space, approaches a ...
متن کاملDECOHERENCE, DETERMINISM and CHAOS Revisited
We suggest that the derivation of the free space Maxwell Equations for classical electromagnetism, using a discrete ordered calculus developed by L.H.Kauffman and T.Etter, necessarily pushes the discussion of determinism in natural science down to the level of relativistic quantum mechanics and hence renders the mathematical phenomena studied in deterministic chaos research irrelevant to the qu...
