Quantum Dynamics Beyond the Gaussian Approximation

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-01-06 v1

Abstract

The time dependent quantum variational principle is emerging as an important means of studying quantum dynamics, particularly in early universe scenarios. To date all investigations have worked within a Gaussian framework. Here we present an improved method which is demonstrated to be superior to the Gaussian approach and may be naturally extended to the field--theoretic case.
