From quantum to classical molecular dynamics

By Christian Lubich

Subjects: Molecular dynamics, Mathematics, Numerical analysis, Mathematical models, Molekulardynamik, Schrödinger equation, Numerische Mathematik, Quantum theory

Description: "This text addresses such problems in quantum mechanics from the viewpoint of numerical analysis, illustrating them to a large extent on intermediate models between the Schrodinger equation of full many-body quantum dynamics and the Newtonian equations of classical molecular dynamics. The fruitful interplay between quantum dynamics and numerical analysis is emphasized."--Jacket.
