Mixed quantum–classical dynamics
We present a uniÐed derivation of the mean-Ðeld (Ehrenfest) and surfacehopping approaches to mixed quantumÈclassical dynamics that elucidates the underlying approximations of the methods and their strengths and weaknesses. We then report a quantitative test of alternative mixed quantumÈclassical methods against accurate quantum mechanical calculations for a simple one-dimensional curve-crossing...
متن کاملChaos and Lyapunov exponents in classical and quantal distribution dynamics
We analytically establish the role of a spectrum of Lyapunov exponents in the evolution of phase-space distributions r(p ,q). Of particular interest is l2 , an exponent that quantifies the rate at which chaotically evolving distributions acquire structure at increasingly smaller scales and is generally larger than the maximal Lyapunov exponent l for trajectories. The approach is trajectory inde...
متن کاملLyapunov Exponents for Non-classical Multidimensional Continued Fraction Algorithms
We introduce a simple geometrical two-dimensional continued fraction algorithm inspired from dynamical renormalization. We prove that the algorithm is weakly convergent, and that the associated transformation admits an ergodic absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. Following Lagarias, its Lyapunov exponents are related to the approximation exponents which measure the diophantine q...
متن کاملMixed quantum-classical surface hopping dynamics
An algorithm is presented for the exact solution of the evolution of the density matrix of a mixed quantum-classical system in terms of an ensemble of surface hopping trajectories. The system comprises a quantum subsystem coupled to a classical bath whose evolution is governed by a mixed quantum-classical Liouville equation. The integral solution of the evolution equation is formulated in terms...
متن کاملWhat are the Quantum Mechanical Lyapunov Exponents
The origin of chaotic behaviour of a dynamical system in the sense of sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the action of a certain group. We are used to the importance of a group from the theory of relativity and in fact this group happens to be a subgroup of the Poincare group. Physical consequences like sensitive dependence on initial conditions or exponential decay of time correlati...
