    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Quantum mechanics cannot exhibit chaos in the classical sense

    Dynamical localization is not a quantitative deviation from classical chaos but a qualitative suppression, indicating quantum mechanics lacks the structural resources to instantiate classical chaos.

    Key Terms

    Classical chaos
    A property of bounded macroscopic systems characterized by sensitive dependence on initial conditions (SDIC), fractal structure in state space, and a continuous energy spectrum associated with its motion
    Dynamical localization(as used in quantum mechanics)
    A quantum physics phenomenon where particles get trapped and stop moving around freely, even in situations where classical physics would predict they'd spread out everywhere.
    Qualitative suppression(as used in comparing types of physical phenomena)
    A fundamental change in kind (not just amount) where something stops happening entirely rather than just happening less.
    Quantum deviation(as used in physics comparisons)
    A difference between what quantum mechanics predicts and what classical physics predicts.

    (the scientific framework being discussed)
    The science of how the tiniest things in the universe (atoms, electrons, photons) behave—which turns out to work very differently than everyday objects.
    Structural resources(as what pure empiricism supposedly lacks)
    The tools, concepts, or building blocks available within a theory that allow it to explain something.
    instantiate(as used in metaphysics)
    To be a concrete example of something, or to have and display a particular property or category.
