An Introduction to Quantum Chaos
by Mason A. Porter
Publisher: arXiv 2001
Number of pages: 57
Description:
Nonlinear dynamics ("chaos theory") and quantum mechanics are two of the scientific triumphs of the 20th century. The former lies at the heart of the modern interdisciplinary approach to science, whereas the latter has revolutionized physics. We give a brief review of the origin and fundamentals of both quantum mechanics and nonlinear dynamics.

Mathematical Principles of Dynamic Systems and the Foundations of Quantum Physicsby Eric Tesse - arXiv
This article will take up the question of what underlies the quantum formalism, whether it can be derived from simpler mathematical structures, and if so, what physical properties a system must possess in order for the formalism to hold.

Ergodic Optimization, Zero Temperature Limits and the Max-plus Algebraby A. T. Baraviera, R. Leplaideur, A. O. Lopes - arXiv
We review some basic notions in ergodic theory and thermodynamic formalism, as well as introductory results in the context of max-plus algebra, in order to exhibit some properties of equilibrium measures when temperature goes to zero.
