Cat maps and Weyl quantization.
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Lech Wolowski, UC Davis |

Weyl quantization provides a useful tool in the study of quantum chaos. In this talk I will describe basic ideas of Weyl quantization and how it can be applied to quantize classical systems with compact phase spaces. As an example I will discuss in some details the quantization of cat maps, which constitute a typical class of chaotic dynamical systems.
