Abstract

An exact correspondence is established between a NN-body classical interacting system and a N1N-1-body quantum system with respect to the partition function. The resulting quantum-potential is a N1N-1-body one. Inversely the Kelbg potential is reproduced which describes quantum systems at a quasi-classical level. The found correspondence between classical and quantum systems allows also to approximate dense classical many body systems by lower order quantum perturbation theory replacing Planck's constant properly by temperature and density dependent expressions. As an example the dynamical behaviour of an one - component plasma is well reproduced concerning the formation of correlation energy after a disturbance utilising solely the analytical quantum - Born result for dense degenerated Fermi systems. As a practical guide the quantum - Bruckner parameter rsr_s has been replaced by the classical plasma parameter Γ\Gamma as rs0.3Γ3/2r_s\approx0.3 \Gamma^{3/2}
