TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe chaotic motion in terms of diffusion in configurational space and show that in the quantum limit, physical phenomena ordinarily associated with disordered metals, such as localization and mesoscopic phenomena, carry over to chaotic systems in general which are in the universality class of the nonlinear σ model.
Abstract: We describe classical chaotic motion in terms of diffusion in configurational space. This approach is illustrated for chaotic billiards and an oscillator with anharmonic coupling. It is argued that in the quantum limit, physical phenomena ordinarily associated with disordered metals, such as localization and mesoscopic phenomena, carry over to chaotic systems in general which are in the universality class of the nonlinear σ model.
