A new method for approximating a quantum-mechanical partition function by an effective classical partition function is proposed. The associated effective classical potential is found by using a variational procedure and a Gaussian Ansatz to estimate the statistical weight of paths starting and endin
## Abstract Quantum particles and classical particles are described in a common setting of classical statistical physics. The property of a particle being βclassicalβ or βquantumβ ceases to be a basic conceptual difference. The dynamics differs, however, between quantum and classical particles. We
