Michael Thompson is currently Editor of the Royal Society s Philosophical Transactions (Series A). He graduated from Cambridge with first class honours in Mechanical Sciences in 1958, and obtained his PhD in 1962 and his ScD in 1977. He was a Fulbright researcher in aeronautics at Stanford University, and joined University College London (UCL) in 1964. He has published four books on instabilities, bifurcations, catastrophe theory and chaos, and was appointed professor at UCL in 1977. Michael Thompson was elected FRS in 1985 and was awarded the Ewing Medal ofthe Institution of Civil Engineers. He was a senior SERC fellow and served on the IMA Council. In 1991 he was appointed director of the Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics.

In this work we give a simple presciption for the treatment of finite-temperature effects in quantum chaos using a well-known paradigm of nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear oscillator. 

It is not possible to discuss highly excited states of molecules without reference to the recent progress in nonlinear dynamics.2 Indeed, the stimulation is mutual. Rovibrational spectra of polyatomic molecules provides both an ideal testing ground for the recent ideas on the manifestation of chaos in Hamiltonian systems and in turn provides many challenges for the theory. 

The notion of chaos is interwoven with the discussion of time evolution, which we do not pursue in this volume. It is worthwhile, however, to note that it is, by now, well understood that a quantum-mechanical system with a finite Hamiltonian matrix cannot satisfy many of the purely mathematical characterizations of chaos. Equally, however, over long periods of time such systems can manifest many of the qualitative features that one associates with classically chaotic systems. It is not our intention to follow this most interesting theme. Instead we seek a more modest aim, namely, to forge a link between the elementary notions of classical nonlinear dynamics and the algebraic approach. This turns out to be possible using the action-angle variables of classical mechanics. In this section we consider only the nonlinear dynamics aspects. We complete the bridge in Chapter 7.

A mathematically definable structure which exhibits the property of always appearing to have the same morphology, even when the observer endlessly enlarges portions of it. In general, fractals have three features heterogeneity, setf-similarity, and the absence of a well-defined scale of length. Fractals have become important concepts in modern nonlinear dynamics.

The prototype potential surface invoked in chemical kinetics is a two-dimensional surface with a saddle equilibrium point and two exit channels at lower energies. The classical and quantal dynamics of such surfaces has been the object of many studies since the pioneering works by Wigner and Polanyi. Recent advances in nonlinear dynamical systems theory have provided powerful tools, such as the concepts of bifurcations and chaos, to investigate the classical dynamics from a new point of view and to perform the semiclassical...

Ray Kapral came to Toronto from the United States in 1969. His research interests center on theories of rate processes both in systems close to equilibrium, where the goal is the development of a microscopic theory of condensed phase reaction rates,89 and in systems far from chemical equilibrium, where descriptions of the complex spatial and temporal reactive dynamics that these systems exhibit have been developed.90 He and his collaborators have carried out research on the dynamics of phase transitions and critical phenomena, the dynamics of colloidal suspensions, the kinetic theory of chemical reactions in liquids, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of liquids and mode coupling theory, mechanisms for the onset of chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems, the stochastic theory of chemical rate processes, studies of pattern formation in chemically reacting systems, and the development of molecular dynamics simulation methods for activated chemical rate processes. His recent research activities center on the theory of quantum and classical rate processes in the condensed phase91 and in clusters, and studies of chemical waves and patterns in reacting systems at both the macroscopic and mesoscopic levels.

Two typical properties of nonlinear dynamical systems are responsible for the realization of controlling chaos. Firstly, nonlinear systems show a sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This is represented in Table 14.1 by the nonlinear equation...
