Continuum mechanics for quantum many-body systems: Linear response regime

Continuum mechanics for quantum many-body systems: Linear response regime

We derive a closed equation of motion for the current density of an inhomogeneous quantum many-body system under the assumption that the time-dependent wave function can be described as a geometric deformation of the ground-state wave function. By describing the many-body system in terms of a single collective field we …
