Many molecular "quantum" theories, like "quantum chemistry", conceal that they are actually quantum-classical approaches---they treat one set of molecular degrees of freedom classically while the remaining degrees of freedom follow the laws…
Low-lying shell model states may be approximated accurately by a sum over products of proton and neutron states. The optimal factors are determined by a variational principle and result from the solution of rather low-dimensional eigenvalue…
