Quantum initial value representations using approximate Bohmian trajectories
Quantum trajectories, originating from the de Broglie-Bohm (dBB) hydrodynamic description of quantum mechanics, are used to construct time-correlation functions in an initial value representation (IVR). The formulation is fully quantum mechanical and the resulting equations for the correlation functions are similar in form to their semi-classical analogs but do not require the computation of th...
متن کاملQuantum dynamics with Bohmian trajectories.
We describe the advantages and disadvantages of numerical methods when Bohmian trajectory grids are used for numerical simulations of quantum dynamics. We focus on the crucial noncrossing property of Bohmian trajectories, which, numerically, must be given careful attention. Failure to do so causes instabilities or leads to false simulations.
متن کاملShort-time quantum propagator and Bohmian trajectories☆
We begin by giving correct expressions for the short-time action following the work Makri-Miller. We use these estimates to derive an accurate expression modulo [Formula: see text] for the quantum propagator and we show that the quantum potential is negligible modulo [Formula: see text] for a point source, thus justifying an unfortunately largely ignored observation of Holland made twenty years...
متن کاملBohmian trajectories and quantum phase space distributions
We prove that most quasi-distributions can be written in a form similar to that of the de Broglie-Bohm distribution, except that ordinary products are replaced by some suitable noncommutative star product. In doing so, we show that the Hamilton-Jacobi trajectories and the concept of ”classical pure state” are common features to all phase space formulations of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the...
متن کاملBohmian trajectories post-decoherence
The proposal that the interaction between a macroscopic body and its environment plays a crucial role in producing the correct classical limit in the Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics is investigated , in the context of a model of quantum Brownian motion. It is well known that one of the effects of the interaction is to produce an extremely rapid approximate diagonalisation of the reduce...
