Form of the quantum potential for use in hydrodynamic equations for semiconductor device modeling

DK Ferry, JR Zhou - Physical Review B, 1993 - APS
We solve a form of the Bloch equation for the density matrix in a manner that identifies a
''quantum''correction to the classical potential. This correction is given by the difference …

Quantum-mechanical distribution functions: conditions for uniqueness

RF O'Connell, EP Wigner - Part I: Physical Chemistry. Part II: Solid State …, 1997 - Springer
We add to the postulate, that the distribution function give the proper probabilities for the
position and momentum variables (actually only the former is needed) and that its …

Thermal lie groups, classical mechanics, and thermofield dynamics

AE Santana, FC Khanna, H Chu, YC Chang - annals of physics, 1996 - Elsevier
The concept of thermoalgebra, a kind of representation for the Lie-symmetries developed in
connection with thermal quantum field theory, is extended to study unitary representations of …

Symmetry groups, density-matrix equations and covariant Wigner functions

AE Santana, AM Neto, JDM Vianna… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2000 - Elsevier
A representation theory for Lie groups is developed taking the Hilbert space, say H w, of the
w∗-algebra standard representation as the representation space. In this context the states …

Relativistic algebraic spinors and quantum motions in phase space

PR Holland - Foundations of physics, 1986 - Springer
Following suggestions of Schönberg and Bohm, we study the tensorial phase space
representation of the Dirac and Feynman-Gell-Mann equations in terms of the complex Dirac …

Non-commutative geometry and symplectic field theory

RGG Amorim, MCB Fernandes, FC Khanna… - Physics Letters A, 2007 - Elsevier

Can quantum analogies help us to understand the process of thought?

P Pylkkanen - Mind and Matter, 2014 - ingentaconnect.com
A number of researchers today make an appeal to quantum physics when trying to develop
a satisfactory account of the mind, an appeal still felt to be controversial by many. Often …
