Chaos and Quantum Chaos

herausgegeben von W.Dieter Heiss
Until now the important concept of quantum chaos has
remained somewhat ill   defined. This volume tackles the
ubiquitous borderline between classical andquantum
mechanics, studying in particular the semiclassical limit               of
chaotic systems. The effects of disorder from dynamics and
their      relation to stochastic systems, quantum coherence
effects in mesoscopic      systems, and the relevant theoretical
approaches are fruitfully combined in this volume. The major
paradigms of what is called quantum chaos, random      matrix
theory and applications to condensed matter and nuclear
physics   are presented. Detailed discussions of experimental
work with particular      emphasis on atomic physics are
included. The book is highly recommended      for
graduate-student seminars.
