Classical evolution in quantum systems
arXiv:1802.02807 · doi:10.1088/1402-4896/ab833b
Abstract
We investigate quantum effects in the evolution of general systems. For studying such temporal quantum phenomena, it is paramount to have a rigorous concept and profound understanding of the classical dynamics in such a system in the first place. For this reason, we derive from first principles equations of motions that describe the classical propagation in quantum systems. A comparison of this classical model with the actual temporal quantum behavior enables us to identify quantum phenomena in the system's dynamics and distinguish them from static quantum features at individual points in time. For instance, we show how Newton's second law emerges as a special case of our general treatment, connecting it to a Schrödinger-type equation. As applications of our universal technique, we analyze nonlinear optical processes, semiclassical models, and the multipartite entanglement dynamics of macroscopic ensembles.
