Product Description: We consider quantum dynamical systems (in general, these could be either Hamiltonian or dissipative, but in this review we shall be interested only in quantum Hamiltonian systems) that have, at least formally, a classical limit. This means, in particular, that each time-dependent quantum-mechanical expectation value X (t) has as i cl Ii -+ 0 a limit Xi(t) -+ x1 )(t) of the corresponding classical sys­ tem...read more

Product Description: Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is a rapidly evolving field which originated in 1990s and matured recently with the first detection of a single electron spin below the surface of a non-transparent solid. Further development of MRFM techniques will have a great impact on many areas of science and technology including physics, chemistry, biology, and even medicine...read more

Product Description: A review on transition from regular dynamics to quantum chaos in a quantum degenerate system - a harmonic oscillator perturbed by a monochromatic wave. It explains how the transition to quantum chaos occurs and how the theoretical predictions can be tested in experiments. (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The authors compare classical and quantum dynamics in the quasiclassical region of parameters and under the condition of unstable (chaotic) classical behavior. They estimate the characteristic time-scale at which classical and quantum solutions start to differ significantly...read more
