Statistical mechanics of quantum-classical systems with holonomic constraints.
The statistical mechanics of quantum-classical systems with holonomic constraints is formulated rigorously by unifying the classical Dirac bracket and the quantum-classical bracket in matrix form. The resulting Dirac quantum-classical theory, which conserves the holonomic constraints exactly, is then used to formulate time evolution and statistical mechanics. The correct momentum-jump approxima...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of quantum-classical systems
The statistical mechanics of systems whose evolution is governed by mixed quantum-classical dynamics is investigated. The algebraic properties of the quantum-classical time evolution of operators and of the density matrix are examined and compared to those of full quantum mechanics. The equilibrium density matrix that appears in this formulation is stationary under the dynamics and a method for...
متن کاملThe Classical and Quantum Mechanics of Systems with Constraints
In this paper, we discuss the classical and quantum mechanics of finite dimensional mechanical systems subject to constraints. We review Dirac’s classical formalism of dealing with such problems and motivate the definition of objects such as singular and non-singular action principles, firstand second-class constraints, and the Dirac bracket. We show how systems with first-class constraints can...
متن کاملThe classical - statistical limit of quantum mechanics
The classical-statistical limit of quantum mechanics is studied. It is proved that the limit ~ → 0 is the good limit for the operators algebra but it si not so for the state compact set. In the last case decoherence must be invoked to obtain the classical-statistical limit.
متن کاملHolonomic Constraints: A Case for Statistical Mechanics of Non-Hamiltonian Systems
A dynamical system submitted to holonomic constraints is Hamiltonian only if considered in the reduced phase space of its generalized coordinates and momenta, which need to be defined ad hoc in each particular case. However, specially in molecular simulations, where the number of degrees of freedom is exceedingly high, the representation in generalized coordinates is completely unsuitable, alth...
