=== Applications === Hamiltonian chaos is prevalent in many areas of physics, particularly in classical mechanics and statistical mechanics. For instance, in [[plasma physics]], the behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field can exhibit Hamiltonian chaos, which has implications for [[nuclear fusion]] and [[Astrophysical plasma|astrophysical plasmas]]. Moreover, in [[quantum mechanics]], Hamiltonian chaos is studied through [[quantum chaos]], which seeks to understand the quantum analogs of classical chaotic behavior. Hamiltonian chaos also plays a role in [[astrophysics]], where it is used to study the dynamics of [[star clusters]] and the stability of [[Galaxy|galactic]] structures.<ref>{{Citation |last=Regev |first=Oded |title=Astrophysics, Chaos and Complexity in |date=2009 |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-30440-3_26 |work=Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science |pages=381β399 |editor-last=Meyers |editor-first=Robert A. |access-date=2023-06-25 |place=New York, NY |publisher=Springer |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-0-387-30440-3_26 |isbn=978-0-387-30440-3|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
