Abstract

We discuss the nature of chaos in classical dynamics and the problem posed by its existence for the quantum dynamics. The de Broglie-Bohm formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics is shown to provide a rigorous unified definition of classical and quantum chaos. We introduce an ‘algorithmic paradigm (AP)’ of physical theories in general. It is shown that quantum (and classical) chaos can be understood within AP to provide an intrinsic mechanism for irreversibility and for the breaking of the time-reversal symmetry.
