Abstract
Regular classical trajectories of dissipative systems eventually end up on limit cycles or settle on fixed points. Chaotic trajectories, on the other hand, approach so-called strange attractors whose geometry is determined by Cantor sets and their fractal dimension. In analogy with the Hamiltonian case, the two classical possibilities of simple and strange attractors are washed out by quantum fluctuations.
