  • More about The Transition to Chaos: Conservative Classical and Quantum Systems


Conservative systems, such as galaxies, molecules, and laser-driven systems, exhibit chaotic behavior that profoundly impacts their dynamics. This book combines mathematical rigor with examples to explain the theory of chaotic systems, with a focus on modern topics like molecular scattering, quantum control, and thermalization. It is accessible to graduate students and the research community.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 555 pages

Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG


The classical and quantum dynamics of conservative systems play a pivotal role in governing the behavior of a vast expanse of the world around us. From the intricate dynamics of galaxies to the mesmerizing vibration and electronic behavior of molecules, and even the intricate dynamics of systems formed from or driven by laser radiation, these systems shape our understanding of the universe. It is remarkable to note that the majority of conservative dynamical systems exhibit a certain degree of chaotic behavior, ranging from a self-similar mixture of regular and chaotic motion to fully developed chaos. This chaotic behavior exerts a profound influence on the dynamics of these systems, making them captivating and complex.

In this comprehensive book, we merge mathematical rigor with illustrative examples to elucidate the dynamical theory of chaotic systems. The 3rd Edition of this text places particular emphasis on contemporary topics of interest, such as scattering systems derived from molecules and nanoscale quantum devices, quantum control and destabilization of systems driven by laser radiation, and the fascinating process of thermalization in condensed matter systems. Written with a clear and accessible style, the book caters to both graduate students and the broader research community, fostering a deeper understanding of these intricate phenomena.

By delving into the classical and quantum dynamics of conservative systems, we gain valuable insights into the intricate workings of the universe. This knowledge empowers us to explore new frontiers, develop innovative technologies, and make groundbreaking discoveries that have the potential to transform our world. So, whether you are a student of physics, mathematics, or any other field, this book is a valuable resource that will enhance your understanding of chaotic systems and their profound impact on our existence.
