6 Potential k V k =? Schrödinger equation with Hamiltonian: Ĥ = 1 M + V (x) x R N nuclei coordinates, V : R N C d2 potential d = 1: Schrödinger observables for mass, momentum and energy satisfy the conservation laws 2. 2 Irving and Zwanzig (1951) for scalar smooth potentials
7 Constant temperature and several electron states Ĥ = 1 M + V (x) Schrödinger: ĤΦ n = E n Φ n Goal determine n Φ n, ÂΦ n e E n/t Observable A and Temperature T M = 12800, δ = M 0.25 ψ t, V (X t )ψ t E λ + (X t ) λ (X t ) t Electron eigenvalueproblem V (x)ψ (x) = λ (x)ψ (x)

Lasser, M. Sandberg, A. Szepessy, A. Kammonen in preparation
10 Proof uses Weyl quantization: Âφ(x) = RN ( M 1/2 2π )N e im 1/2 (x y) p A( x + y, p)dp φ(y)dy, } R N {{ 2 } L 2 -kernel V (x) = V (x), p 2 2 = 1 2M, p 2 so H(x, p) = 2 I + V (x), Weyl s law: Φ n, ÂΦ n = trace  n = trace(l 2 -kernel) = ( M 1/2 2π )N tracea(x, p)dxdp R 2N
11 In fact also Φ n, Â ˆBΦ n = ( M 1/2 n 2π )N R 2N trace ( A(z)B(z) ) dz Choosing B = e H/T : and trace(ae H/T ) = trace(ãe H/T ) d = Ã kk e H kk /T, k=1 H kk (z) = p λ k(x), ê H/T = e Ĥ/T + O(M 1/2 T 1 ), q k from normalization
12 The quantum density, momentum and energy observables satisfy the conservation laws (Irving & Zwanzig, 1951) ρ(y, t) := trace (ˆρ t f(ĥ)) = n Φ n, ˆρ t f(ĥ)φ n ˆρ 0 = ( N η(y x ) ) =1 ˆρ t = e it MĤ ˆρ 0 e it MĤ density operator time evolution ĤΦ n = E n Φ n Schrödinger eigensolutions ˆp 0 := ( η(y x )p ) momentum operator Ê 0 := ( η(y x )( p V k ) ) 2 2 k (scalar) energy operator
13 Why is quantum same as classical? If m 2: t  t = i M[Ĥ, Ât] Heisenberg i M[Ĥ, A(x)pm ] = {H, A(x)pm } d = dt A(x t)p m t = time evolution xt =x,p t =p  (x)p m = 0 A (x)p 2 V A(x) m = 1 A (x)p 3 2V A (x)p m = 2
14 Matrix valued potential? i M[Ĥ, Â] = O(M 1/2 ) {H, A} = O(1) Seek Ât = ˆΨ(x) ˆÃ t ˆΨ(x) then t ˆÃ t = im 1/2 [ ˆΨ (x)ĥ }{{ ˆΨ(x), } ˆÃ t ] diagonal? ˆΨ (x)ĥ ˆΨ(x) = (Ψ HΨ + 1 4M Ψ Ψ) Choose Ψ so that: diagonal + O k (M k ), any k.
15 Then ˆρ 0 := ˆΨ ( N η(y x )I ) ˆΨ =1 ˆp 0 := ˆΨ ( η(y x )p I ) ˆΨ Ê 0 := ˆΨ ( η(y x ) H ) ˆΨ with diagonal energy per particle partition N H = H =1 density operator Theorem 4 : The Schödinger observables for the density, momentum and energy solve the conservation laws O k (M k ) accurately, any k. 4 also in preparation: M.
