Review text

The paper shows that classical dynamical systems can be effectively studied by the specific methods adopted in quantum mechanics, such as operators and density matrices. In particular, instead of partitioning the phase space and constructing symbolic dynamics, one considers a half-chain of quantum-spins on the algebra of continuous complex-valued functions on the phase space. The dynamics is represented by non-commutative shifts on that half-chain of quantum spins. This approach allows to evaluate various entropies of the original classical system, including the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00097].
