An Introduction to Quantum Chaos
by Mason A. Porter
Publisher: arXiv 2001
Number of pages: 57
Description:
Nonlinear dynamics ("chaos theory") and quantum mechanics are two of the scientific triumphs of the 20th century. The former lies at the heart of the modern interdisciplinary approach to science, whereas the latter has revolutionized physics. We give a brief review of the origin and fundamentals of both quantum mechanics and nonlinear dynamics.

Mathematical Principals of Dynamic Systems and the Foundations of Quantum Physicsby Eric Tesse - arXiv
This article will take up the question of what underlies the quantum formalism, whether it can be derived from simpler mathematical structures, and if so, what physical properties a system must possess in order for the formalism to hold.
