Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase Space. III. Mean Field Approximation Benchmarked for Interacting Lennard-Jones Particles
Phil Attard
A Monte Carlo computer simulation algorithm in classical phase space is given for the treatment of quantum systems. The non-commutativity of position and momentum is accounted for…
Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase Space. Test Results for Quantum Harmonic Oscillators
Phil Attard
The von Neumann trace form of quantum statistical mechanics is transformed to an integral over classical phase space. Formally exact expressions for the resultant position-momentum…
Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase Space. Expressions for the Multi-Particle Density, the Average Energy, and the Virial Pressure
Phil Attard
Quantum statistical mechanics is formulated as an integral over classical phase space. Some details of the commutation function for averages are discussed, as is the factorization…
Shear Thinning in Lennard-Jones Fluids by Stochastic Dissipative Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Phil Attard
The shear viscosity of a Lennard-Jones fluid is obtained by stochastic dissipative molecular dynamics (SDMD) simulations. A generic constraint to the equations of motion is given t…
Herding Shrödinger's Supposéd Cat. How the Classical World Emerges from the Quantum Universe
Phil Attard
The pointer states and preferred basis of the classical world are that of definite positions and momenta. Here it is shown that the reason for the absence of superposition states i…
