Path-integral Monte Carlo calculation of the kinetic energy of
... We are therefore neglecting the effect of vacancies or other defects in the solid phase near melting. By inspecting the pair-distribution function, we verified that the system was liquid for temperatures above T m . We used the pair density matrix of Eq. ~4! and the number M of slices @Eq. ~2!# was ...

Reflections on the deBroglie–Bohm Quantum Potential

If the Active Information Hypothesis is correct, then a quantum particle would have to be deviated from its initial trajectory (i.e., its momentum changed) as a result of the internal processi ...
