Phys. Rev. A 68, 062103 (2003) [12 pages]Chaos and quantum-classical correspondence via phase-space distribution functionsReceived 25 July 2003; published 4 December 2003 Quantum-classical correspondence in conservative chaotic Hamiltonian systems is examined using a uniform structure measure for quantal and classical phase-space distribution functions. The similarities and differences between quantum and classical time-evolving distribution functions are exposed by both analytical and numerical means. The quantum-classical correspondence of low-order statistical moments is also studied. The results shed considerable light on quantum-classical correspondence. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
