Chaos and Decoherence in a Quantum System with a Regular Classical Counterpart

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

We show that chaotic like behavior in a quantum system facilitates decoherence. It appears that the time scale on which decoherence takes place depends on the degree of complexity of the underlying quantum system, i.e., more complex systems decohere relatively faster than less complex ones.
