Abstract

The reduction in selectivity due to chaotic time evolution is determined The measure of selectivity is the entropy of the initial state. The loss of selectivity, i.e., spreading of the system across its phase space, is characterized by an entropy increase. Finer final state probes can demonstrate selectivity not otherwise evident.
