- Title
Nonlinear dynamics: Quantizing the classical cat.
- Authors
Stewart, Ian
- Abstract
Focuses on an article by Cushman and colleagues which offers an analysis of the quantum version of the pendulum. Implications for the relation between nonlinear dynamics and quantum theory; Answer to the question of how monodromy show up when the system is quantized, in the context of the carbon dioxide molecule; Occurrence of the most significant features of the quantum-mechanical description of the mechanical system at its singularities; Recommendation for the use of nonlinear dynamics in the understanding of quantization.
