Hydrodynamics for quasi-free quantum systems

arXiv:cond-mat/9801190 · doi:10.1023/A:1004535100763

Abstract

We consider quasi-free quantum systems and we derive the Euler equation using the so-called hydrodynamic limit. We use Wigner's well-known distribution function and discuss an extension to band distribution functions for particles in a periodic potential. We investigate the Bosonic system of hard rods and calculate fluctuations of the density. Keywords: Euler equation, quantum distribution function, hydrodynamic limit
