We study the Schr\"odinger evolution generated by the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian, a model for nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics, in the classical limit $\hbar \rightarrow 0$. In this regime, we rigorously derive the Newton-Maxwell…

We analyze the dynamics of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional bistable potential within the framework of Bohm's quantum mechanics. We give arguments that evidence the fallacy of certain claims found in the literature dealing with the…
We study the Bohmian dynamics of a large class of bipartite systems of non-ideal qubit systems, by modifying the basic physical parameters of an ideal two-qubit system, made of coherent states of the quantum harmonic oscillator. First we…

We prove an error estimate for a Lie-Trotter splitting operator associated to the Schrodinger-Poisson equation in the semiclassical regime, when the WKB approximation is valid. In finite time, and so long as the solution to a compressible…
In this initial paper in a series, we first discuss why classical motions of small particles should be treated statistically. Then we show that any attempted statistical description of any nonrelativistic classical system inevitably yields…
We discuss the conditions for the classicality of quantum states with a very large number of identical particles. By treating the center of mass as a Bohmian particle, we show that it follows a classical trajectory when the distribution of…
This paper is concerned with the asymptotics of resonances in the semiclassical limit $h\to 0^+$ for $2\times 2$ matrix Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension. We study the case where the two underlying classical Hamiltonian trajectories…
We consider the dispersive logarithmic Schr{\"o}dinger equation in a semi-classical scaling. We extend the results about the large time behaviour of the solution (dispersion faster than usual with an additional logarithmic factor,…
We study the simultaneous semi-classical and adiabatic asymptotics for a class of (weakly) nonlinear Schroedinger equations with a fast periodic potential and a slowly varying confinement potential. A rigorous two-scale WKB-analysis,…
We discuss whether position measurements in quantum mechanics can be contradictory with Bohmian trajectories, leading to what has been called \textquotedblleft surrealistic trajectories\textquotedblright\ in the literature. Previous work…
Using the generalized coherent states we argue that the path integral formulae for $SU(2)$ and $SU(1,1)$ (in the discrete series) are WKB exact,if the starting point is expressed as the trace of $e^{-iT\hat H}$ with $\hat H$ being given by…
We study the dynamics of a three-mode bosonic system with mode-changing interactions. For large mode occupations the short-time dynamics is well described by classical mean-field equations allowing us to study chaotic dynamics in the…
The derivation of the Nordheim-Boltzmann transport equation for weakly interacting quantum fluids is a longstanding problem in mathematical physics. Inspired by the method developed to handle classical dilute gases, a conventional approach…
