Quantum Adiabatic Approximation, Quantum Action, and Berry’s Phase
An alternative interpretation of the quantum adiabatic approximation is presented. This interpretation is based on the ideas originally advocated by David Bohm in his quest for establishing a hidden variable alternative to quantum mechanics. It indicates that the validity of the quantum adiabatic approximation is a sufficient condition for the separability of the quantum action function in the ...
متن کاملSemiclassical Self-consistent--eld Perturbation Theory for the Hydrogen Atom in a Magnetic Eld
A recently developed perturbation theory for solving self-consistent-eld equations is applied to the hydrogen atom in a strong magnetic eld. This system has been extensively studied using other methods and is therefore a good test case for the new method. The perturbation theory yields summable large-order expansions. The accuracy of the self-consistent-eld approximation varies according to eld...
متن کاملAdiabatic Invariant Treatment of a Collapsing Sphere of Quantized Dust
The semiclassical collapse of a sphere of quantized dust is studied. A BornOppenheimer decomposition is performed for the wave function of the system and the semiclassical limit is considered for the gravitational part. The method of adiabatic invariants for time dependent Hamiltonians is then employed to find (approximate) solutions to the quantum dust equations of motions. This allows us to o...

The semiclassical collapse of a sphere of quantized scalar matter is studied. A BornOppenheimer decomposition is performed for the wave function of the system and the semiclassical limit is considered for the gravitational part.

متن کاملAdiabatic path integral molecular dynamics methods. II. Algorithms
Efficient numerical algorithms are developed for use with two finite temperature semiclassical approximations to quantum dynamics both of which require trajectories generated on potentials of mean force derived from the path integral expression for the density matrix. The numerical algorithms are formed from the combination of a classical adiabatic relation similar to that used in the Car–Parri...
