Notes:
A new approach to the description of gas kinetics is proposed. The approach is based on a fundamental presumption which states that binary collisions of gas atoms, moving in a chaotic way, can serve as "interior measurements.'' These "measurements'' result in collapses of atomic wave functions. The ensuing decoherence is capable of transforming the wave function of gas atoms into a set of small-size wave packets. Their kinetics is considered in detail. Quantum effects linear in the Planck constant are taken into account. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
