NONLINEAR DYNAMICS: QUANTUM CHAOS ----------------------------------------------------------- Georgia Tech PHYS 7224 Spring semester 2004 Predrag Cvitanovic' Lecture 13: Thu Feb 19 2004 09:35-10:55 in Howey S104 Semiclassical quantization -------------------------- Reading: -------- Chaos: Classical and Quantum (version 10) --- ChaosBook.org/stable/postscript.html print (if anything) Chapter 27 - Semiclassical quantization Problem set IV -------------- Pick up the draft of the chapter "Weak noise dynamics" http://www.cns.gatech.edu/PHYS-7224/noise10-1-7.ps.gz and fix it as much as you can in the next few days (add things from lectures, like the Fick law and the difussion equation with no background flow); go from Langevin to Fokker-Planck, verify the variational principle, get the right dimensions and the conventional definition of the diffusion constant. If you want to substantially rewrite the text, pick up the LaTeX source files from the course homepage. due Tue Feb 24 2004, in the class, or Bo Li's mailbox. --------------------------------------------------------------
