The Hellmann–Feynman theorem at finite temperature

M Pons, B Juliá-Díaz, A Polls, A Rios… - American Journal of …, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
We present a simple derivation of the Hellmann–Feynman theorem at finite temperature. We
illustrate its validity by considering three relevant examples, which can be used in quantum …

Quasi Kepler's third law for quantum many-body systems

C Semay, CT Willemyns - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2021 - Springer
The Kepler's third law is a relation between the period and the energy of two classical
particles interacting via a gravitational potential. Recent works showed that this law could be …

Envelope theory for systems with different particles

C Semay, L Cimino, C Willemyns - Few-Body Systems, 2020 - Springer
The eigensolutions of many-body quantum systems are always difficult to compute. The
envelope theory is a method to easily obtain approximate, but reliable, solutions in the case …

Boson thermodynamics in the gravity field

L Ferrari, F Pavan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2206.12287, 2022 - arxiv.org
A uniform force like the weight has been shown to forbid Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC),
due to the discreteness of the Airy spectrum, resulting from the weight. We show that BEC is …

Three theorems of quantum mechanics and their classical counterparts

C Semay - European Journal of Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Hellmann–Feynman, virial and comparison theorems are three fundamental
theorems of quantum mechanics. For the first two, counterparts exist for classical mechanics …

On the virial theorem for a particle in a box: Accounting for Cauchy's boundary condition

R Cabrera-Trujillo, O Vendrell - American Journal of Physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
Most introductory books on quantum mechanics discuss the particle-in-a-box problem
through solutions of the Schrödinger equation, at least, in the one-dimensional case. When …
