Quantum Chaos: Proceedings of the International School of Physics Enrico Fermi : Cource Cxix : Varenna on Lake Como : Villa Monastero 23 July-2 Augu

The study of quantum systems which are chaotic in the classical limit (quantum chaos or quantum chaology) is a very new field of research. Not long ago, it was still considered as an esoteric subject, however this attitude changed radically when it was realized that this subject is relevant to many of the more mature branches of physics. This book presents the accumulated knowledge available up until now and at the same time introduces topics which are being intensively studied at present. Their relevance to other fields such as condensed matter, atomic and nuclear physics is also discussed. The lectures have been divided into two rough categories - background and advanced lectures.Casati, G. is the author of 'Quantum Chaos: Proceedings of the International School of Physics Enrico Fermi : Cource Cxix : Varenna on Lake Como : Villa Monastero 23 July-2 Augu' with ISBN 9780444815880 and ISBN 0444815880.
