Quantum Hydrodynamics
@inproceedings{Khan2013QuantumH, title={Quantum Hydrodynamics}, author={Shabbir Ahmad Khan and Michael Bonitz}, year={2013} }
Quantum plasma physics is a rapidly evolving research field with a very inter-disciplinary scope of potential applications, ranging from nano-scale science in condensed matter to the vast scales of astrophysical objects. The theoretical description of quantum plasmas relies on various approaches, microscopic or macroscopic, some of which have obvious relation to classical plasma models. The appropriate model should, in principle, incorporate the quantum mechanical effects such as diffraction…
