Abstract
In this paper, we examine the dynamical effect of quantum fluctuations in c haotic motion. We take a kicked double-well potential system as an example. The result shows that quantum fluctuations can enhance chaotic motion. Thi s phenomenum is very much different from the understanding of quantum effec ts in the kicked rotor system, where quantum fluctuations suppress chaos.
