  2. Hellmann–Feynman theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HellmannFeynman_theorem

    The HellmannFeynman theorem is actually a direct, and to some extent trivial, consequence of the variational principle (the Rayleigh–Ritz variational principle) from which the Schrödinger equation may be derived. This is why the HellmannFeynman theorem holds for wave-functions (such as the Hartree–Fock wave-function) that, though not ...

  3. History of variational principles in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_variational...

    The variational method of Ritz would found his use quantum mechanics with the development of HellmannFeynman theorem. The theorem was first discussed by Schrödinger in 1926, the first proof was given by Paul Güttinger in 1932, and later rediscovered independently by Wolfgang Pauli and Hans Hellmann in 1933, and by Feynman in 1939 ...

  5. Feynman–Kac formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman–Kac_formula

    The Feynman–Kac formula, named after Richard Feynman and Mark Kac, establishes a link between parabolic partial differential equations and stochastic processes.In 1947, when Kac and Feynman were both faculty members at Cornell University, Kac attended a presentation of Feynman's and remarked that the two of them were working on the same thing from different directions.

  7. Perturbation theory (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory...

    Whenever a state derivative is encountered, resolve it by inserting the complete set of basis, then the Hellmann-Feynman theorem is applicable. Because differentiation can be calculated systematically, the series expansion approach to the perturbative corrections can be coded on computers with symbolic processing software like Mathematica .

  8. Jefimenko's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefimenko's_equations

    The Heaviside–Feynman formula, also known as the Jefimenko–Feynman formula, can be seen as the point-like electric charge version of Jefimenko's equations. Actually, it can be (non trivially) deduced from them using Dirac functions , or using the Liénard-Wiechert potentials . [ 4 ]

  9. Surface hopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_hopping

    The last equation is derived using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. The brackets show that the integral is done only over the quantum degrees of freedom. Choosing only one adiabatic surface is an excellent approximation if the difference between the adiabatic surfaces is large for energetically accessible regions of . When this is not the case ...
