Title Dissipative Quantum Chaos and Decoherence Author(s) Braun, Daniel Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2001. Description XI, 134 p : online resource Abstract Note Dissipative Quantum Chaos and Decoherence provides an over- view of the state of the art of research in this exciting field. The main emphasis is on the development of a semiclassical formalism that allows one to incorporate the effect of dissipation and decoherence in a precise, yet tractable way into the quantum mechanics of classically chaotic systems. The formalism is employed to reveal how the spectrum of the quantum mechanical propagator of a density matrix is determined by the spectrum of the corresponding classical propagator of phase space density. Simple quantum--classical hybrid formulae for experimentally relevant correlation functions and time-dependent expectation values of observables are derived. The problem of decoherence is treated in detail, and highly unexpected cases of very slow decoherence are revealed, with important consequences for the long-debated realizability of Schr??dinger cat states as well as for the construction of quantum computers ISBN,Price 9783540409168 Keyword(s) 1.
