KW - Quantum chaos. KW - Physics N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index; 1. Introduction -- 2. Dynamical systems -- 3. Nonlinear Hamiltonian systems -- 4. Aspects of quantum chaos -- Index N2 - This book provides a thorough and modern introduction to the concepts of Hamiltonian dynamical systems' theory combining in a comprehensive way classical and quantum mechanical description. It covers a wide range of topics usually not found in similar books. Motivations of the respective subjects and a clear presentation eases the understanding. The book is based on lectures on classical and quantum chaos held by the author at Heidelberg University. It contains exercises and worked examples, which makes it ideal for an introductory course for students as well as for researchers starting to work in the field. ER -
