Abstract
Quantum-classical correspondence in many-dimensional quantum chaos is investigated by use of a coupled quantum kicked-rotors model. Even when the number of rotors is only two, results obtained are drastically different from those for a single-rotor system; that is, in the semiclassical limit the coupled system restores the essential features of classical chaos under appropriate conditions. In particular, the time-reversal experiment reveals that the classical chaotic mixing is recovered almost entirely; however, the recovered mixing is "conditional" in the sense that there exists a threshold for the recovery.Keywords
