Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.
