Many-body formalism for thermally excited wave packets: A way to connect the quantum regime to the classical regime
Free classical particles have well-defined momentum and position, while free quantum particles have well-defined momentum but a position fully delocalized over the sample volume. We develop a many-body formalism based on wave-packet operators that connects these two limits, the thermal energy being...
