Quantum Variance and Ergodicity for the baker's map

Mathematical Physics 2016-08-16 v3 math.MP

Abstract

We prove a Egorov theorem, or quantum-classical correspondence, for the quantised baker's map, valid up to the Ehrenfest time. This yields a logarithmic upper bound for the decay of the quantum variance, and, as a corollary, a quantum ergodic theorem for this map.
