Abstract: | We study a quantum chain of oscillators with nonlinear quartic interactions, under the “narrow packet” approximation. We analyse the dynamics of quantum corrections and the conditions at which the quantum solution for average complex amplitude converges to the corresponding classical unstable solution which describes the four-wave decay processes of phonons. We develop an asymptotic theory by using a small quasiclassical parameter, and determine the characteristic time scale for which the evolution of decay processes is essentially specified by quantum effects.
