The Ideal Energy of Classical Lattice Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We define, as local quantities, the least energy and momentum allowed by quantum mechanics and special relativity for physical realizations of some classical lattice dynamics. These definitions depend on local rates of finite-state change. In two example dynamics, we see that these rates evolve like classical mechanical energy and momentum.

Mechanical Systems that are both Classical and Quantum
Quantum dynamics can be regarded as a generalization of classical finite-state dynamics. This is a familiar viewpoint for workers in quantum computation, which encompasses classical computation as a special case. Here this viewpoint is extended to mechanics, where classical dynamics has traditionally been viewed as a macroscopic approximation of quantum behavior, not as a special case. When a c...
متن کاملIdeal of Lattice homomorphisms corresponding to the products of two arbitrary lattices and the lattice [2]
Abstract. Let L and M be two finite lattices. The ideal J(L,M) is a monomial ideal in a specific polynomial ring and whose minimal monomial generators correspond to lattice homomorphisms ϕ: L→M. This ideal is called the ideal of lattice homomorphism. In this paper, we study J(L,M) in the case that L is the product of two lattices L_1 and L_2 and M is the chain [2]. We first characterize the set...
متن کاملQuantum emulation of classical dynamics
In statistical mechanics, it is well known that finite-state classical lattice models can be recast as quantum models, with distinct classical configurations identified with orthogonal basis states. This mapping makes classical statistical mechanics on a lattice a special case of quantum statistical mechanics, and classical combinatorial entropy a special case of quantum entropy. In a similar m...
متن کاملTHE INTERNAL IDEAL LATTICE IN THE TOPOS OF M-SETS
We believe that the study of the notions of universal algebra modelled in an arbitarry topos rather than in the category of sets provides a deeper understanding of the real features of the algebraic notions. [2], [3], [4], [S], [6], [7], [13], [14] are some examples of this approach. The lattice Id(L) of ideals of a lattice L (in the category of sets) is an important ingredient of the categ...
متن کاملAtomistic explanation of the Gough-Joule-effect
An interpretation of the Gough-Joule-Effect from an atomistic point of view is given by a special investigation of lattice vibrations using a non-interacting model. The calculations are restricted to crystals with ideal crystal structure built up of only one kind of particles. Approximate analytical formulas are derived. A comparison between the classical macroscopic theory and the here present...
