Dynamical Origin of Decoherence in Clasically Chaotic Systems
Abstract
The decay of the overlap between a wave packet evolved with a Hamiltonian H and the same state evolved with H}+$Σ$ serves as a measure of the decoherence time $τ_ϕ$. Recent experimental and analytical evidence on classically chaotic systems suggest that, under certain conditions, $τ_ϕ$ depends on H but not on $Σ$. By solving numerically a Hamiltonian model we find evidence of that property provided that the system shows a Wigner-Dyson spectrum (which defines quantum chaos) and the perturbation exceeds a crytical value defined by the parametric correlations of the spectra.
