Abstract
In this paper, we study the quantum manifestations of classical chaos in phase space using Wigner and Husimi distribution functions. We test the claim that Husimi represents the correspondence better than Wigne r does. The results show the claim is valid. We also use a quantum dis sipation scheme empirically for classically damped motions often chara cterized by strange attractors. We believe quantum resemblance to clas sical distributions can be regarded as signatures of quantum chaos in phase space.
