An Estimation of the Logarithmic Timescale in Ergodic Dynamics

Abstract

An estimation of the logarithmic timescale in quantum systems having an ergodic dynamics in the semiclassical limit, is presented. The estimation is based on an extension of the Krieger’s finite generator theorem for discretized [Formula: see text]-algebras and using the time rescaling property of the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy. The results are in agreement with those obtained in the literature but with a simpler mathematics and within the context of the ergodic theory. Moreover, some consequences of the Poincaré’s recurrence theorem are also explored.
