Measure theoretic ergodic theory in quantum mechanics. (English) Zbl 0432.46063

The measure theoretic ergodic theory is applied to quantum systems. The time evolution is considered as a point transformation in the set of a \( C^{*} \)-algebra. Invariant Borel measures on this set are shown to exist, so there is a measure theoretic dynamic system. Interrelations between this system and the corresponding quantum dynamical system are established.
