The Effect of Noise and Dissipation on Quantum Chaos (1987-1993)

Application of Feynman-Vernon Formalism for the study of noise and dissipation. Study of dynamical correlations due to Anderson-like localization effect in classically diffusive system. Mechanisms for destruction of coherence, non-perturbative and non-Markovian effects. Comparison with the classical limit.
