Quantum plasmas

量子效应在极端条件下变得很重要，并且一个新发展的领域“量子等离子体”是由电离系统的两个不同的极端激发的。一种是在非常小的电子设备中，携带电流的电子变得像波浪一样，波长与设备的大小相当。另一个是现在通过聚焦高功率激光可以获得的极强的光学光斑。在这个项目中，我们建议通过将最近完成的一般理论应用于这一新兴领域的发展中发挥主导作用。

Quantum effects become important under extreme conditions, and a newly developing field of "quantum plasmas" is motivated by two different extremes for ionized systems. One is in very small electronic devises, where electrons carrying the currents become wave-like with a wavelength comparable with the size of the device. The other is in the extremely intense optical light spots now available by focusing high-power lasers. In this project we propose to take a leading role in the development of this emerging field by applying a recently completed general theory to it.
