Ontological Models in Quantum Mechanics: What do they tell us?
Leslie Ballentine
The consequences of the theorems about ontological models are studied. "Maximally -epistemic" is shown to be equivalent to the conjunction of two other conditions, each of which…
Quantum Localization for Two Coupled Kicked Rotors
Borzumehr Toloui, Leslie E. Ballentine
We study a system of two coupled kicked rotors, both classically and quantum mechanically, for a wide range of coupling parameters. This was motivated by two published reports, one…
Objective and Subjective Probabilities in Quantum Mechanics
Leslie Ballentine
The concept of probability was prominent in the original foundations of quantum mechanics, and continues to be so today. Indeed, the controversies regarding objective and subjectiv…
The Quantum Mechanics of Hyperion
Nathan Wiebe, L. E. Ballentine
This paper is motivated by the suggestion [W. Zurek, Physica Scripta, T76, 186 (1998)] that the chaotic tumbling of the satellite Hyperion would become non-classical within 20 year…
Quantum-Classical Correspondence for the Equilibrium Distributions of Two Interacting Spins
J. Emerson, L. E. Ballentine
We consider the quantum and classical Liouville dynamics of a non-integrable model of two coupled spins. Initially localised quantum states spread exponentially to the system dimen…
Characteristics of Quantum-Classical Correspondence for Two Interacting Spins
J. Emerson, L. E. Ballentine
The conditions of quantum-classical correspondence for a system of two interacting spins are investigated. Differences between quantum expectation values and classical Liouville av…
