TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:6080034 L3 - citeulike-article-id:6080034 N2 - We study the time evolution of a quantum system without classical counterpart, undergoing a process of entropy increase due to the environment influence. We show that if the environment-induced decoherence is interpreted in terms of wave-function collapses, a symbolic sequence can be generated. We prove that the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy of this sequence coincides with rate of von Neumann entropy increase.
