Quantum Chaos in Atomic Physics

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Coherent atomic matter waves

Part of the book series: Les Houches - Ecole d’Ete de Physique Theorique ((LHSUMMER,volume 72))

Abstract

How classical chaos manifests itself in microscopic systems where a quantum description must be used, is the subject of quantum chaos. In these lectures, I present the concepts and tools used in quantum chaos - random matrix theory, periodic orbit theory, localization theory - and show their relevance for studying complex atomic systems.
