Quantum Signatures of Chaos (Springer Series in Synergetics, Vol 54)

This textbook aims to provide an introduction to a new and rapidly developing field of research. Topics considered include the quantum aspects of nonlinear dynamics, quantum criteria to distinguish regular and irregular motion, antiunitary symmetries and the quantum mechanics of dissipative systems. Each chapter is accompanied by a selection of problems which are designed to help the student assimilate the material and gain an active command of the methods considered.
