Abstract

We discuss the question of whether experiments can be designed to test the existence of quantum chaos. In particular, we show that high energies are not sufficient to guarantee that an initially localized wave packet will behave classically for long times. We present computer simulations illustrating these ideas, and comment on whether experiments can be designed to observe quantum chaos.
