随机Schrödinger方程与Boltzmann方程之间的联系

The Connection Between the Stochastic Schrödinger Equation and Boltzmann Equation

  • 摘要: 在相对论性重离子碰撞中,重夸克可以保留与夸克-胶子等离子体(QGP)相互作用历史的信息,因此可作为研究相对论重离子碰撞过程的“探针”。在之前的一项研究中,一种用含随机相位外场来模拟热介质的随机薛定谔方程方法(SSE)被用来描述重夸克在热介质中的演化过程。在本工作中,利用Keldysh格林函数方法研究了SSE与Boltzmann输运方程(BE)之间的联系。通过比较从SSE所得重夸克格林函数以及用来导出Boltzmann方程的Keldysh格林函数,我们发现SSE在弱耦合极限下同Boltzmann方程相一致。我们在此基础之上进行了数值计算,其结果验证了SSE与BE在弱耦合极限下的一致性。

     

    Abstract: The heavy quarks present in the quark-gluon plasma(QGP) can act as a probe of relativistic heavy ion collisions as they retain the memory of their interaction history. In a previous study, a stochastic Schrödinger equation(SSE) has been applied to describe the evolution of heavy quarks, where an external field with random phases is used to simulate the thermal medium. In this work, we study the connection between the SSE and the Boltzmann transport equation(BE) approach in the Keldysh Green’s function formalism. By comparing the Green’s function of the heavy quark from the SSE and the Keldysh Green’s functions leading to the Boltzmann equation, we demonstrate that the SSE is consistent with the Boltzmann equation in the weak coupling limit. We subsequently confirm their consistency through numerical calculations.
