Classical motion conjecture for continuously observed quantum blobs
Classical motion conjecture for continuously observed quantum blobs
A quantum blob is a phase-space set denoted by . Let be the classical Hamilton flow associated with a Hamiltonian , and let be the observation time. Classical motion conjecture. When we continuously observe the motion of a quantum blob, an initial quantum blob is transformed into
Thus, continuous observation reveals the classical Hamiltonian motion of the blob. This conjecture extends the stated classical evolution result for quadratic Hamiltonians to arbitrary physical Hamiltonians, for which the approximation is expected to remain excellent over generically large Ehrenfest times.
