Abstract

The ongoing debates about the interpretation of quantum mechanics have often taken place in forums such as the measurement problem and Schrodinger’s cat paradox. I urge that we move beyond those old forums, and consider instead the more general problem of how classical properties emerge from quantum mechanics. Quantum chaos appears as a special case of this general problem, being the study of the emergence of classical chaos from QM. Such a study quickly leads to the following conclusion: the classical limit of a quantum state is typically an ensemble of classical orbits, and not a single classical orbit. This fact enables us to understand the relation between several quantum and classical dynamical models. This study also reveals interesting connections between old and new problems.
