"Algorithmic complexity and quantum dynamics"

Abstract

Algorithmic complexity is a powerful tool that, in the realm of 
classical dynamical systems, gives solid ground to the intuitive notions 
of chaoticness and randomness. Possible generalizations to quantum 
dynamical systems will be presented and discussed within the context of 
quantum information theory.
