We provide a path integral treatment of the decoherence process induced by a heat bath on a single particle whose dynamics is classically chaotic and show that the decoherence rate is given by the Lyapunov exponent. The loss of coherence is…
We study the stability of a steady Eckart streaming jet that is acoustically forced at one end of a closed cylindrical cavity and impinges the wall at the other end, where a recirculation forms. This configuration generically represents…

Hyperchaos is a qualitatively stronger form of chaos, in which several degrees of freedom contribute simultaneously to exponential divergence of small changes. A hyperchaotic dynamical system is therefore even more unpredictable than a…
