A nonadiabatic transition system which exhibits “quantum chaotic” behavior [H. Fujisaki and K. Takatsuka, Phys. Rev. E 63, 066221 (2001)] is investigated from quasiclassical aspects. Since such a system does not have a naive classical limit, we take the mapping approach [Stock and Thoss, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 578 (1997)] to represent the quasiclassical dynamics of the system. We numerically show that there is a sound correspondence between the quantum chaos and classical chaos for the system.
