Semiquantal dynamics of fluctuations: Ostensible quantum chaos
The time-dependent variational principle using generalized Gaussian trial functions yields a finite dimensional approximation to the full quantum dynamics and is used in many disciplines. It is shown how these ``semiquantum'' dynamics may be derived via the Ehrenfest theorem and recast as an extended classical gradient system with the fluctuation …
