Quantum relaxation - quantum equilibrium
Quantum equilibrium hypothesis: if dBB(x,t=0) | (x,t=0)|2
then, under certain conditions, dBB(x,t) | (x,t)|2 as t
First result in this direction: Bohm - Vigier theory (1954)
Theorem (Bohm and Vigier 1954): one has dBB(x,t) | (x,t)|2 as tprovided that the following `mixing condition’is satisfied:
“a fluid element starting in an elementary element of volume dx’ , in a region where the fluid density is appreciable, has a nonzero probability of reaching any other element of volume dx in this region”
Typicality theorem (Dürr et al. 1992): in a large system, “most” Bohmian initial conditions imply extremely small fluctuationswith respect to the quantum equilibrium state.
Vallentini (1991): the “coarse-grained” particle distribution approaches | |2 on a finer and finer scale (works also for few degrees of freedom).

Bohm’s method as a “propagator” of quantum dynamics
Consider particle-like “tracers” of the quantum flow
positions of particles at the time t:
=R2
Integrate the Newtonian equations for one time step
positions of particles at the time t+dt:
R(t+dt)= (t+dt)1/2
momenta of particles at the time t+dt:
S(x1,x2,...,xN, t+dt)

A two-fold approach to the importance of chaos in dBB theory:
1) Foundational aspects:dynamical relaxation to quantum equilibrium(Valentini)
2) Practical aspects:accuracy of Lagrangian (hydrodynamical) schemes for solving Schrödinger’s equation(Wyatt, Oriols, Towler)

Origin of chaos near moving nodal points
Early works: Frisk 1997, Konkel and Makowski 1998, Wu and Sprung 1999, Makowski et al. 2000, Falsaperla and Fonte 2003,
Wisniaski and Pujals 2005, Wisniaski et al. 2006
Goals
1) Study the quantum flow structure in a frame of reference moving with the local vortex speed
2) Unravel the mechanism of generation of chaos
3) Quantitative estimates on Lyapunov exponentsin terms of:
a) the local parametersof a vortex, and b) the number of vortices in a given state and time

Vortex speed:Vx=dx0/dt, Vy=dy0/dt
Introduce local coordinates: u=x(t)-x0(t), v=y(t)-y0(t)

`Avoidance’ rule
As a rule, quantum trajectories in systems with moving vortices avoid approaching very close to nodal points
Most of the time, the nodal point:
i) is a repellor, or
ii) is an attractor protected by a limit cycle, or
iii) is accompanied by a very narrow channel of inward flow
Flow is regular very close to a nodal point
However,
quantum trajectories are chaotically scattered by X-points!

The problem of time in quantum mechanics
(reviewed in Muga and Leavens 2000, and Muga et al. 2002,2009)
1) Times are experimentally observed (e.g. TOF spectroscopy for heavy ions)
2) Time, however, is not an operator-valued observable(Pauli’s theorem).Furthermore, measurements in QM are considered to occur oninstants of time
3) Several approaches, still ambiguous (and controversial)
- Kijowski (1972) arrival times distribution (based on Aharonov-Bohm operators). For asymptotically free wave packets, it turns to be analogous to the classical flux approach
- Sum-over-historiesapproach (Yamada and Takagi 1992, based on works by Hartle, Gel-Mann, Griffiths and Omnes)
- POVMs deduced from histories (Anastopoulos and Savvidou 2006)
- Bohmian approach (Leavens): consistent and simple
