Abstract

It is proved that many-particle Bohm trajectories can be computed from single-particle time-dependent Schrödinger equations. From this result, a practical algorithm for the computation of transport properties of many-electron systems with exchange and Coulomb correlations is derived. As a test, two-particle Bohm trajectories in a tunneling scenario are compared to exact results with an excellent agreement. The algorithm opens the path for implementing a many-particle quantum transport (Monte Carlo) simulator, beyond the Fermi liquid paradigm.
