Abstract: It is demonstrated how the equilibrium semiclassical approach of Coffey et al. can be improved to describe more correctly the evolution. As a result a new semiclassical Klein-Kramers equation for the Wigner function is derived, which remains quantum for a free quantum Brownian particle as well. It is transformed to a semiclassical Smoluchowski equation, which leads to our semiclassical generalization of the classical Einstein law of Brownian motion derived before. A possibility is discussed how to extend these semiclassical equations to nonlinear quantum Fokker-Planck equations based on the Fisher information.

Review text

A linear semi-classical Klein-Kramers equation has been proposed recently by \textit{W. T. Coffey, Yu. P. Kalmykov, S. V. Titov} and \textit{B. P. Mulligan} [J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 40, No. 3, F91--F98 (2007; Zbl 1105.81049)] to achieve more accuracy in the modeling. Here the author generalizes this equation to derive a nonlinear quantum Fokker-Planck equation which takes account of a Fisher-like density of information, and this approach works via a Smoluchovski equation.
