A center-of-mass principle for the multiparticle Schrödinger equation
نویسنده
چکیده
The center-of-mass principle is the key to the rapid computation of the interaction of a large number of classical particles. Electrons governed by the multiparticle Schrödinger equation have a much more complicated interaction, mainly due to their spatial extent and the antisymmetry constraint on the total wavefunction of the combined electron system. We present a center-ofmass principle for quantum particles that accounts for this spatial extent, the antisymmetry constraint, and the potential operators. We use it to construct an algorithm for computing a size-consistent approximate wavefunction for large systems with simple geometries. Subject Classification: 65Z05 65D15 81-08

Semiclassical Solutions of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
A concept of semiclassically concentrated solutions is formulated for the multidimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with an external field. These solutions are considered as multidimensional solitary waves. The center of mass of such a solution is shown to move along with the bicharacteristics of the basic symbol of the corresponding linear Schrödinger equation. The leading term of...

An exact uncertainty principle, formulated as the assumption that a classical ensemble is subject to random momentum fluctuations of a strength which is determined by and scales inversely with uncertainty in position, leads from the classical equations of motion to the Schrödinger equation.

A new simple model is introduced for a liquid and an equation of state is derived based on this model and the statistical mechanical calculations. This equation of state works well for the non-polar and slightly polar liquids. The important conclusion that may be deduced from this equation of state is that if the reduced variables of state are chosen and defined appropriately, then, the pri...
