Abstract

SEMICLASSICAL APPROXIMATION CORRELATION FUNCTIONS CHAOTIC SYSTEMS TIME DOMAIN ANALYSIS
The presence of chaos in the classical dynamics is not necessarily the destructive element it was thought to be for semiclassical approximations in the time domain. The method of calculating the semiclassical propagation of initial states and correlation functions for nonlinear and chaotic dynamics is shown, and the excellent accuracy is noted for rather long times. The breakdown timescale is much longer than the infamous ‘‘log time’’ for the cases investigated here.
