MS-123: Robert D. Hanson Papers
This collection is mainly comprised of letters and telegrams of the immediate Hanson family during WWII (1942-1946, with gaps), though there is a selection of letters to members of the family from other authors and a small group of letters written from 1904-1924 to Elizabeth and Henry Hanson from Elizabeth’s parents F. V. N. (Franklin Verzelius Newton) and L. T. ( Laura Trimble) Painter. In the sub-series of other letters addressed to Robert Hanson there are several letters pertaining to Robert’s admission to law school, the bar, and the army in addition to personal correspondence.

Quantum dynamics and breakdown of classical realism in nonlinear oscillators
The dynamics of a quantum nonlinear oscillator is studied in terms of its
quasi-flow, a dynamical mapping of the classical phase plane that represents
the time-evolution of the quantum observables. Explicit expressions are derived
for the deformation of the classical flow by the quantum nonlinearity in the
semiclassical limit. The breakdown of the classical trajectories under the
quantum nonlinear dynamics is quantified by the mismatch of the quasi-flow
carried by different observables. It is shown that the failure of classical
realism can give rise to a dynamical violation of Bell's inequalities.Comment: RevTeX 4 pages, no figure

Mixed Weyl Symbol Calculus and Spectral Line Shape Theory
A new and computationally viable full quantum version of line shape theory is
obtained in terms of a mixed Weyl symbol calculus. The basic ingredient in the
collision--broadened line shape theory is the time dependent dipole
autocorrelation function of the radiator-perturber system. The observed
spectral intensity is the Fourier transform of this correlation function. A
modified form of the Wigner--Weyl isomorphism between quantum operators and
phase space functions (Weyl symbols) is introduced in order to describe the
quantum structure of this system. This modification uses a partial Wigner
transform in which the radiator-perturber relative motion degrees of freedom
are transformed into a phase space dependence, while operators associated with
the internal molecular degrees of freedom are kept in their original Hilbert
space form. The result of this partial Wigner transform is called a mixed Weyl
symbol. The star product, Moyal bracket and asymptotic expansions native to the
mixed Weyl symbol calculus are determined. The correlation function is
represented as the phase space integral of the product of two mixed symbols:
one corresponding to the initial configuration of the system, the other being
its time evolving dynamical value. There are, in this approach, two
semiclassical expansions -- one associated with the perturber scattering
process, the other with the mixed symbol star product. These approximations are
used in combination to obtain representations of the autocorrelation that are
sufficiently simple to allow numerical calculation. The leading O(\hbar^0)
approximation recovers the standard classical path approximation for line
shapes. The higher order O(\hbar^1) corrections arise from the noncommutative
nature of the star product.Comment: 26 pages, LaTeX 2.09, 1 eps figure, submitted to 'J. Phys. B.
Zitterbewegung and semiclassical observables for the Dirac equation
In a semiclassical context we investigate the Zitterbewegung of relativistic
particles with spin 1/2 moving in external fields. It is shown that the
analogue of Zitterbewegung for general observables can be removed to arbitrary
order in \hbar by projecting to dynamically almost invariant subspaces of the
quantum mechanical Hilbert space which are associated with particles and
anti-particles. This not only allows to identify observables with a
semiclassical meaning, but also to recover combined classical dynamics for the
translational and spin degrees of freedom. Finally, we discuss properties of
eigenspinors of a Dirac-Hamiltonian when these are projected to the almost
invariant subspaces, including the phenomenon of quantum ergodicity
