Quantum state sensitivity to initial conditions
The different time-dependent distances of two arbitrarily close quantum or classical-statistical states to a third fixed state are shown to imply an experimentally relevant notion of state sensitivity to initial conditions. A quantitative classification scheme of quantum states by their sensitivity and instability in state space is given that reduces to the one performed by classicalmechanical ...
متن کاملSemiclassical analysis and sensitivity to initial conditions
We present several recent results concerning the transition between quantum and classical mechanics, in the situation where the underlying dynamical system has an hyperbolic behaviour. The special role of invariant manifolds will be emphasized, and the long time evolution will show how the quantum non-determinism and the classical chaotic sensitivity to initial conditions can be compared, and i...
متن کاملQuasicycles revisited: apparent sensitivity to initial conditions.
Environmental noise is known to sustain cycles by perturbing a deterministic approach to equilibrium that is itself oscillatory. Quasicycles produced in this way display a regular period but varied amplitude. They were proposed by Nisbet and Gurney (Nature 263 (1976) 319) as one possible explanation for population fluctuations in nature. Here, we revisit quasicyclic dynamics from the perspectiv...
متن کاملSensitivity to Initial Conditions in Quantum Dynamics: an Analytical Semiclassical Expansion
We construct a class of systems for which quantum dynamics can be expanded around a mean field approximation with essentially classical content. The modulus of the quantum overlap of mean field states naturally introduces a classical distance between classical phase points. Using this fact we analytically show that the time rate of change (trc) of two neighbouring classical trajectories is dire...
متن کاملThe physical Church thesis and the sensitivity to initial conditions
The physical Church thesis is a thesis about nature that expresses that all that can be computed by a physical system— a machine — is computable in the sense of computability theory. At a first look, this thesis seems contradictory with the existence, in nature, of chaotic dynamical systems, that is systems whose evolution cannot be “computed” because of their sensitivity to initial conditions....
