Wkb Analysis of Bohmian Dynamics
We consider a semi-classically scaled Schrödinger equation with WKB initial data. We prove that in the classical limit the corresponding Bohmian trajectories converge (locally in measure) to the classical trajectories before the appearance of the first caustic. In a second step we show that after caustic onset this convergence in general no longer holds. In addition, we provide numerical simula...
متن کاملSemiclassical Bohmian Dynamics
Quantum mechanics lies at the heart of chemistry. It is impossible to understand the structure of the Periodic Table, chemical bonding patterns, free energies of chemical reactions, reaction rates and branching ratios, and other chemical phenomena without a quantum-mechanical (QM) description. In particular, the dynamics of molecular systems often involve QM effects such as zero-point energy, t...
متن کاملQuantum dynamics with Bohmian trajectories.
We describe the advantages and disadvantages of numerical methods when Bohmian trajectory grids are used for numerical simulations of quantum dynamics. We focus on the crucial noncrossing property of Bohmian trajectories, which, numerically, must be given careful attention. Failure to do so causes instabilities or leads to false simulations.
متن کاملAspects of nonlocality from a quantum trajectory perspective: A WKB approach to Bohmian mechanics
Abstract Nonlocality is a property of paramount importance both conceptually and computationally exhibited by quantum systems, which has no classical counterpart. Conceptually, it is important because it implies that the evolving system has information on what happens at any space point and time. Computationally, because such a knowledge makes any calculation intractable as the number of degree...
متن کاملOn the dynamics of Bohmian measures
We revisit the concept of Bohmian measures recently introduced by the authors in [19]. We rigorously prove that for sufficiently smooth wave functions the corresponding Bohmian measure furnishes a distributional solution of a nonlinear Vlasov-type equation. Moreover, we study the associated defect measures appearing in the classical limit. In one space dimension, this yields a new connection be...
