Decoherence, chaos, and the second law.
We investigate implications of decoherence for quantum systems which are classically chaotic. We show that, in open systems, the rate of von Neumann entropy production quickly reaches an asymptotic value which is: (i) independent of the system-environment coupling, (ii) dictated by the dynamics of the system, and (iii) dominated by the largest Lyapunov exponent. These results shed a new light o...
متن کاملConvergence in law in the second Wiener/Wigner chaos
Let L be the class of limiting laws associated with sequences in the second Wiener chaos. We exhibit a large subset L0 ⊂ L satisfying that, for any F∞ ∈ L0, the convergence of only a finite number of cumulants suffices to imply the convergence in law of any sequence in the second Wiener chaos to F∞. This result is in the spirit of the seminal paper [12], in which Nualart and Peccati discovered ...
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...
