Abstract
We briefly review the non-commutative generalisation, presented in [1], of the theory of hyperbolic dynamical systems; and then prove that hyperbolicity cannot be a paradigm for quantum chaos, except possibly in a certain asymptotic sense.
Based on a Lecture at the International Workshop on “Quantum Communication and Measurement” held at Nottingham, 11–16 July, 1994
