Classical-quantum correspondence for the scattering dwell time.
Using results from the theory of dynamical systems, we derive a general expression for the classical average scattering dwell time tau . Remarkably, tau depends only on a ratio of phase space volumes. We further show that, for a wide class of systems, the average classical dwell time is not in correspondence with the energy average of the quantum Wigner time delay.
