Note that our density matrix is the transposed of the matrix representation of the density operator in the set of the single particle functions. Diagonalising the operator ( yields the natural populations and natural orbitals [27,28,47,80] de ned as the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of ....

....is the selection of important con gurations. This would break the exponential growth of the method with the number of degrees of freedom, at the price of reduced accuracy. Another goal is the study of solvated systems. Here, the relevant sub system may be represented by a reduced density matrix [79] and the in uence of the solvent is then accounted for by dissipative operators of the Red eld [167] or Lindblad [168] type. Such an approach requires the extension of MCTDH to density matrices [169] An alternative route is to retain the wavefunction picture and account for only a nite number ....

....1.4 NMR and the Product Operator Formalism In liquid state NMR one deals with thermodynamic ensembles of molecules whose spins are in a mixed state with no e#ective interactions between spins in di#erent molecules. A concise description of the relevant statistics is given by the density operator [6]. A matrix for the density operator of a pure state is obtained from the corresponding state vector by forming the dyadic product # ## # (# # # # = 1) As shown in Refs. 32, 48, 49] the geometric algebra analog of the dyadic product is #E # (# # # # = 1) The density ....

.... in an environment (in solution, in a matrix, in a solid, or at a surface) is in the focus of actual theoretical research [1] The quantum dynamics of open systems, e.g. those exchanging energy and phase with their surroundings, are frequently treated within open system density matrix theory [2]. In cases where the characteristic timescales of motion of the environmental modes are fast the Markov approximation can be made, which neglects memory effects [2] The problem then comes down to the solution of a Markovian, open system Liouville von Neumann equation of the form ( 1) ....

In the case of a two spin system in the state , for example, we have . 17] The density matrix of a mixed state is obtained by taking the average of the density matrix of the spin system over an ensemble of pure states, i.e. [18] 10 3 Y y Y y y = 00 Y 00 00 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 = Y p y ( y y y d y y y = 21 where is the probability density of the pure state described by the spinor and denotes the set of all unit norm spinors.

Finally, the ensemble average of the expectation value of any observable is obtained as the trace product of the corresponding matrix with the density matrix. Eq. [18] is usually regarded as a Gibbs ensemble average, which is a purely thought construction used to compute time averages. As described above, however, the spins in the different molecules of a liquid are essentially independent of one another. Hence the total density matrix factorizes into a ....
