We study the {\it quasi-classical limit} of a quantum system composed of finitely many non-relativistic particles coupled to a quantized field in Nelson-type models. We prove that, as the field becomes classical and the corresponding…
We develop a novel approach to the coupled motion of electrons and ions that focuses on the dynamics of the electronic subsystem. Usually the description of electron dynamics involves an electronic Schr\"odinger equation where the nuclear…

Any time-dependent solution of Schr\"{o}dinger equation may be always correlated to a solution of Hamilton equations or to a statistical combination of their solutions; only the set of corresponding solutions is somewhat smaller (due to…
