• Title: Chaotic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs, measurements and time reversal
• Authors: Klaus M. Frahm and Dima L. Shepelyansky
• Abstract summary: We consider a situation when evolution of an entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair takes place in a regime of quantum chaos being chaotic in the classical limit. The time evolution is reversible even if a presence of small errors breaks time reversal of classical dynamics. We show that due to EPR pair entanglement a measurement of one particle at the moment of time reversal breaks exact time reversal of another particle which demonstrates only an approximate time reversibility.

• Abstract: We consider a situation when evolution of an entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair takes place in a regime of quantum chaos being chaotic in the classical limit. This situation is studied on an example of chaotic pair dynamics described by the quantum Chirikov standard map. The time evolution is reversible even if a presence of small errors breaks time reversal of classical dynamics due to exponential growth of errors induced by exponential chaos instability. However, the quantum evolution remains reversible since a quantum dynamics instability exists only on a logarithmically short Ehrenfest time scale. We show that due to EPR pair entanglement a measurement of one particle at the moment of time reversal breaks exact time reversal of another particle which demonstrates only an approximate time reversibility. This result is interpreted in the framework of the Schmidt decomposition and Feynman path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. The time reversal in this system has already been realized with cold atoms in kicked optical lattices in absence of entanglement and measurements. On the basis of the obtained results we argue that the experimental investigations of time reversal of chaotic EPR pairs is within reach of present cold atom capabilities.

  Time-parametrization invariance in general relativistic space-time does not allow us to single out a time in quantum mechanics in a mechanical way of measurement. We find that it is a theoretical counterexample of this gauge invariance, except for proper-time translational invariance, at a coarse-grained level.
