Classical and quantum chaos of dynamical systems : rotating billiards

The theory of classical chaos is reviewed. From the definition of integrable systems using the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, the theory of perturbed systems is developed and the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem is explained. It is shown how chaotic motion in Hamiltonian systems is governed by the i...
