Abstract
In the preceding paper, the structure and thermodynamics of a given quantum system was represented by a corresponding classical system having an effective temperature, local chemical potential, and pair potential. Here, that formal correspondence is implemented approximately for applications to two quantum systems. The first is the electron gas (jellium) over a range of temperatures and densities. The second is an investigation of quantum effects on shell structure for charges confined by a harmonic potential.
