Correlations in the adiabatic response of chaotic systems
Adiabatic variation of the parameters of a chaotic system results in a fluctuating reaction force. The quantum analog of a classical dissipative force, proportional to the time integral of the force-force correlation function, vanishes.

| Summary: | Adiabatic variation of the parameters of a chaotic system results in a fluctuating reaction force. The quantum analog of a classical dissipative force, proportional to the time integral of the force-force correlation function, vanishes. We study this quantum-classical crossover for random matrix models. For the Gaussian unitary ensemble the crossover is found to take place on the Heisenberg time scale and the finite time integral practically vanishes for longer times. For the Gaussian orthogonal case, there is no such time scale and the integral falls off inversely proportional to time. |
