Equivalence of Two Approaches for Quantum-Classical Hybrid Systems
arXiv:0803.4107 · doi:10.1063/1.2927348
Abstract
We discuss two approaches that are used frequently to describe quantum-classical hybrid system. One is the well-known mean-field theory and the other adopts a set of hybrid brackets which is a mixture of quantum commutators and classical Poisson brackets. We prove that these two approaches are equivalent.
