SDIC in classical chaos is defined over continuous phase space trajectories, while quantum mechanics replaces trajectories with spreading wavefunctions governed by linear Schrödinger dynamics.

(Used in the context of whether quantum interactions with such systems contribute indeterministically to their outcomes)
Sensitivity to initial conditions — a property of nonlinear macroscopic (chaotic) systems whereby small differences in initial state lead to divergent outcomes
Schrödinger equation(the fundamental equation of quantum mechanics that the first response proposes modifying)
The main mathematical formula in quantum mechanics that describes how particles behave and change over time.
Trajectory(as describing how a system evolves from one state to another)
The path or sequence of changes something follows over time.
Wavefunction(what encodes structure in quantum systems)
A mathematical description in quantum physics that represents all the possible information about a particle—like a detailed recipe for where and how a particle might be found.
