Abstract

We present an upper bound for the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of quantum systems having a mixing quantum phase space. The method for this estimation is based on the following ingredients: i) the graininess of quantum phase space in virtue of the Uncertainty Principle, ii) a time rescaled KS-entropy that introduces the characteristic timescale as a parameter, and iii) the factorization property of the mixing correlations. The analogy between the structures of the mixing level of the ergodic hierarchy and of its quantum counterpart is shown. Moreover, the logarithmic timescale, characteristic of quantum chaotic systems, is obtained.
