Time-Irreversibility in Three-Body Scattering
The complex evolution of three bodies undergoing a simultaneous collision has long made it one of the most interesting and fruitful systems for study in physics. Using a mechanical formalism developed in part by Prof. Prigogine, researchers at the Center have found new evidence of time irreversiblity in the quantum version of this system. Follow this link to find out how this system may reveal clues to the nature of the arrrow of time.
