Abstract

An improved model is developed for an effective two body potential which incorporates quantum effects into classical equilibrium statistical mechanics. Just as in a previously derived model, a mean field approximation to a first quantum correction is employed in order to obtain nonperturbative expressions which include corrections to all orders. However, unlike the previous model, the resulting thermodynamic functions are exact to first order in h/2.
