Completely Mixing Quantum Open Systems and Quantum Fractals

Ph. Blanchard, A. Jadczyk, R. Olkiewicz

abstract: Departing from classical concepts of ergodic theory, formulated in terms of probability densities, measures describing the chaotic behavior and the loss of information in quantum open systems are proposed. As application we discuss the chaotic outcomes of continuous measurement processes in the EEQT framework. Simultaneous measurement of four noncommuting spin components is shown to lead to a chaotic jump on quantum spin sphere and to generate specific fractal images - nonlinear ifs (iterated function system). The model is purely theoretical at this stage, and experimental confirmation of the chaotic behavior of measuring instruments during simultaneous continuous measurement of several noncommuting quantum observables would constitute a quantitative verification of Event Enhanced Quantum Theory.

comments:
Latex format, 20 pages, 6 figures in jpg format. New replacement has two more references (including one to a paper by G. Casati et al on quantum fractal eigenstates), adds example and comments concerning mixing properties of of a two-level atom driven by a laser field, and also adds a number of other remarks which should make it easier to follow mathematical arguments
