4 Goals Formulation of both quantum and classical mechanics in which the electron density,,, is the fundamental variable (not the wavefunction, ψ,, or the N-electron density, N ). 4

5 Goals Formulation of both quantum and classical mechanics in which the electron density,,, is the fundamental variable (not the wavefunction, ψ,, or the N-electron density, N ). Decomposition of the kinetic energy: - Classical and purely quantum kinetic energy. - Noninteracting and interacting kinetic energy. - Stronger connection with information theory. - Construction of orbital-free kinetic-energy energy functional. 5

6 Outline Decomposition into classical and purely quantum kinetic energy via dequantization process that leaves unchanged. Decomposition of the purely quantum kinetic energy: A) purely quantum noninteracting kinetic energy - functional of a Fisher information expression (or Weizsäcker term) B) purely quantum interacting kinetic energy - functional of (N-1) conditional electron density Monte-Carlo procedure functional of a Shannon information expression 6

7 Quantization Altering or augmenting equations of classical mechanics to obtain quantum mechanics. 7

8 Quantization Altering or augmenting equations of classical mechanics to obtain quantum mechanics. In Nelson s approach quantum fluctuations are added to the classical momentum resulting in the quantum momentum. 8

9 Quantization Altering or augmenting equations of classical mechanics to obtain quantum mechanics. In Nelson s approach quantum fluctuations are added to the classical momentum resulting in the quantum momentum. In Bohm s approach a quantum potential is added to the classical potential. 9

10 Dequantization Set of rules for turning quantum mechanics into classical mechanics Not the 0 limit of quantum mechanics 10

11 Dequantization Set of rules for turning quantum mechanics into classical mechanics Not the 0 limit of quantum mechanics In our approach dequantization strips the quantum fluctuations from the quantum momentum operator resulting in the classical momentum operator. 11

12 Dequantization Set of rules for turning quantum mechanics into classical mechanics Not the 0 limit of quantum mechanics In our approach dequantization strips the quantum fluctuations from the quantum momentum operator resulting in the classical momentum operator. In our approach the electron density is a fundamental variable as in Madelung s hydrodynamic f ormulation of quantum mechanics. 12

27 Kinetic energy decomposition Our expression for the N-electron kinetic energy is T N = T C,N + T W,N The N-electron Weizsäcker term can be written as T W + T corr W where T W is the (one-electron) electron) Weizsäcker term and T corr W is the purely quantum correlation term. - T W results from local quant um fluctuations. - T corr W results from nonlocal quant um fluctuations. 27

28 Kinetic energy decomposition continued The N-electron classical kinetic energy, T C,N, can be written as T C + T corr C where T C is the (one-electron) electron) classical kinetic energy and T corr C is the classical correlation term. Our expression for the N-electron kinetic energy is T N = T C + T W + kinetic correlation terms Our expression for the one-electron electron kinetic energy is T = T C + T W 28

29 Results for 1D systems particle in a box, harmonic oscillator For a stationary state with no nonzero angular momentum component, T C = 0 and T = T W. This is the case for ground or excited states of - a 1D particle in a box - a 1D harmonic os cillator. For a nonstationary state, T C is not equal to zero even if there is no nonzero angular momentum component. 29
