The problem of quantum chaos consists of two O parts: the quasiclassical quantisation of the chaotic systems and attempts to 8 understand the classical chaos in terms of quantum mechanics. The first ques- 2 tion has been partially solved by the Gutzwiller semiclassical trace formula for 1 the eigenvalues of chaotic systems, while the classical chaos may be derived v 1 from quantum equations only introducing the decoherence process due to in- 4 teraction with system’s environment or intermediate frequent measurement. 0 0 We may conclude that continuously observable quasiclassical system evolves 1 essentially classically-like. 6 9 / h Quasiclassical systems are systems with high quantum numbers and they may be de- p t- scribed quantum mechanically using the Bohr-Sommerfeld or WKB quantization method. n The quasiclassical (semiclassical) methods are built on the classical trajectories. If a clas- a u sical mechanical system can be represented as multiperiodic, than it is equivalent to as q many independent systems as many degrees of freedom, or as many constants of the mo- : v tion the system has. Einstein, quoting Poincare, pointed out that such a separation was i X not possible in the three-body
