Abstract

In this paper the numerical procedure combining both molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods for solving the integral Wigner- Liouville equation has been developed and applications of this approach to the treatment of kinetic properties of quantum dense hydrogen plasma has been considered. To study the influence of the Coulomb interaction on kinetic properties of dense plasma the quantum dynamics in a canonical ensemble at finite temperature for both weakly and strongly coupled plasmas was simulated. The main quantities calculated are the temporal momentum-momentum correlation functions and their frequency-domain Fourier transforms.
