Commentary on “Force-field functor theory: classical force-fields which reproduce equilibrium quantum distributions”
This comment regards a recent paper by Babbush, Parkhill, and AspuruGuzik (henceforth BPA) (Babbush et al., 2013). The subject is the equilibrium thermodynamics of a system of many quantum particles with Hamiltonian Ĥ = ∑N i= 1 p̂i /(2m)+ V(q̂), where q̂ = {q̂i} and the commutator of the coordinateand momentum operators is [q̂i, p̂j] = ih̄δij. In BPA it is correctly observed (see, e.g., Hillery et al....
متن کاملForce-field functor theory: classical force-fields which reproduce equilibrium quantum distributions
Feynman and Hibbs were the first to variationally determine an effective potential whose associated classical canonical ensemble approximates the exact quantum partition function. We examine the existence of a map between the local potential and an effective classical potential which matches the exact quantum equilibrium density and partition function. The usefulness of such a mapping rests in ...
متن کامل2 Quantum field theory as a functor
The principle of local covariance which was recently introduced admits a generally covariant formulation of quantum field theory. It allows a discussion of structural properties of quantum field theory as well as the perturbative construction of renormalized interacting models on generic curved backgrounds and opens in principle the way towards a background independent perturbative quantization...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Quantum Fields and the Classical Field Theory Limit
We calculate the far-from-equilibrium dynamics and thermalization both for the quantum and the classical O(N)–model. The early and late-time behavior can be described from the 2PI–loop expansion for weak couplings or the nonperturbative 2PI–1/N expansion of the effective action beyond leading order. A comparison with exact simulations in 1+1 dimensions in the classical limit shows that the 2PI–...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Non-equilibrium Quantum Field Theory
We first focus in Chapter 2 on infrared effects in finite–temperature quantum field theory. We propose a simple mathematical method (based on the largest–time equation and the Dyson–Schwinger equations) which allows systematic calculations of the change of density in energy/particles in heat–bath during a scattering/decay of external particles within the heat bath. A careful analysis reveals th...
