Wigner Symbols, Quantum Dynamics, and the Kicked Rotator
Abstract
The kicked rotator is used to show how to apply the formalism of Wigner symbols to the study of quantum dynamics. This approach provides a simple and direct method of comparing quantum and classical dynamics. The leading quantum effects are examined in detail for small values of h-bar and discuss the time scales at which quantum effects appear.
