Title: Expressions of Resonant dynamics in Classical and Quantum systems

Abstract: Alice Quillen will illustrate rich connections between classical and quantum expressions of chaos, adiabatic drift, resonance capture, sensitivity to control parameters and information loss. A method for predicting chaotic behavior used in galactic dynamics and celestial mechanics has a quantum equivalent. A sensitive classical chaotic perturbed system inspires a quantum sampler. Quantum systems with divided phase space are described with a classical adiabatic limit and resonant capture probability but are always susceptible to transitions into superposition states.
