Abstract
In this paper we translate the two higher levels of the Ergodic Hierarchy [11], the Kolmogorov level and the Bernoulli level, to quantum language. Moreover, this paper can be considered as the second part of [3]. As in [3], we consider the formalism where the states are positive functionals on the algebra of observables and we use the properties of the Wigner transform [12]. We illustrate the physical relevance of the Quantum Ergodic Hierarchy with two emblematic examples of the literature: the Casati-Prosen model [13], [14] and the kicked rotator [6], [7], [8].
