Fokker-Planck and Langevin Equations from Forward--Backward Path Integral

Hagen Kleinert

Starting from a forward--backward path integral of a point particle in a bath of harmonic oscillators, we derive the Fokker-Planck and Langevin equations with and without inertia.…

Self-Consistent Effective Action for Quantum Particle with Space-Dependent Mass

M. E. S. Borelli, H. Kleinert

We calculate the quantum corrections to the classical action of a particle with coordinate-dependent mass. The result is made self-consistent by a variational approach, thus making…

Quantum Statistics of Hydrogen in Strong Magnetic Fields

Michael Bachmann, Hagen Kleinert, Axel Pelster

By an extension of the Feynman-Kleinert variational approach, we calculate the temperature-dependent effective classical potential governing the quantum statistical properties of a…

Variational Approach to Hydrogen Atom in Uniform Magnetic Field of Arbitrary Strength

M. Bachmann, H. Kleinert, A. Pelster

Extending the Feynman-Kleinert variational approach, we calculate the temperature-dependent effective classical potential governing the quantum statistics of a hydrogen atom in a u…

Coordinate Independence of of Quantum-Mechanical Path Integrals

H. Kleinert, A. Chervyakov

We develop simple rules for performing integrals over products of distributions in coordinate space. Such products occur in perturbation expansions of path integrals in curvilinear…

On a quantum version of Shannon's conditional entropy

Robert Schrader

In this article we propose a quantum version of Shannon's conditional entropy. Given two density matrices and on a finite dimensional Hilbert space and with $S(ρ)=-\trρ\lnρ…
