Effective quantum equations for the semiclassical description of the Hydrogen atom

Quantum Physics 2012-03-23 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We study the Hydrogen atom as a quantum mechanical system with a Coulomb like potential, with a semiclassical approach based on an effective description of quantum mechanics. This treatment allows us to describe the quantum state of the system as a system of infinite many classical equations for expectation values of configuration variables, their moments and quantum dispersions. It also provides a semiclassical description of the orbits and the evolution of observables and spreadings and their back-reaction on the evolution.
