This textbook provides an excellent introduction to a new and
rapidly developing field of research. The topics treated include a
detailed exploration of the quantum aspects of nonlinear dynamics,
quantum criteria to distinguish regular and irregular motion,
antiunitary symmetries (generalized time reversal) and a thorough
account of the quantum mechanics of dissipative systems. Each
chapter is accompanied by a selection of problems which will help
the student to test and deepen his/her understanding and to acquire
an active command of the methods.

The second edition is significantly expanded. Of the considerable
theoretical progress lately achieved, the book focusses on the
deeper statistical exploitation of level dynamics, improved control
of semiclassical periodic-orbit expansions, and superanalytic
techniques for dealing with various types of random matrices.
