| Abstract: | The mean-field density matrix of a changed plasma of quantum particles with Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics in a confining external potential is obtained as a limit of theN-body canonical states for suitably scaled charges. Also, it is shown that the density profile of the quantum mean-field theory converges to the solution of the classical mean-field equation when the Planck's constant tends to zero. |
