Quantum ergodicity

Quantum ergodicity is a concept that arises in the context of quantum mechanics and dynamical systems, particularly in the study of quantum systems that exhibit chaotic behavior. It relates to the long-term statistical properties of quantum states and how they evolve over time. In classical mechanics, the notion of ergodicity refers to the idea that a system, over a long period, will explore its available phase space in such a way that the time average of a property is equal to the ensemble average.
