Thermal fluctuations in quantized chaotic systems

Open access
Srednicki, Mark·1996·Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General

Abstract

We consider a quantum system with N degrees of freedom which is classically chaotic. When N is large, and both and the quantum energy uncertainty are small, quantum chaos theory can be used to demonstrate the following results: (i) given a generic observable A, the infinite time average of the quantum expectation value is independent of all aspects of the initial state other than the total energy, and equal to an appropriate thermal average of A; (ii) the time variations of are too small to represent thermal fluctuations; (iii) however, the time variations of can be consistently interpreted as thermal fluctuations, even though these same time variations would be called quantum fluctuations when N is small.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
