This work was initiated from a preliminary discussion of one of the authors (M.N.) with N. Saito a few years ago. He thanks Professor N. Saito, WasedaU niversity, for many stimulating discussions, and is also indebted to Professor A.K. Kapoor, University of Hyderabad,f or his interest and hospitality, becauset he first draft of this paper was completed in Hyderabad. The authors are grateful to Professor N. Saito for many discussions and to Professor Y. Aizawa, Waseda University, and Dr. S. Tasaki, Institute for Fundamental Chemistry (Kyoto), for informing them of recent studies of chaos. Three of them (H.N., M.N. and Y.Y.) are partly supportedb y the Japanese Ministry of Education, Sciences and Culture. One of them (S.P.) was supportedb y the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science, under a bilateral exchangep rogram with the Italian Consiglio Nazionale della Ricerche, and by the Administration Council of the University of Bari.

N2 - We examine whether the chaotic behavior of classical systems with a limited number of degrees of freedom can produce quantum dephasing, against the conventional idea that dephasing takes place only in large systems with a huge number of constituents and complicated internal interactions. On the basis of this analysis, we briefly discuss the possibility of defining quantum chaos and of inventing a "chaos detector".
