Abstract:
In this paper it is presented a review of the most important characteristics and applications of quantum plasmas. This subject gained attention in the last years, mainly due to the fact that quantum plasmas are not a fully understood and explained subject. The parameters of a Classic Plasma along with a brief history and a few common examples were mentioned. Quantum Plasmas were discussed in a detailed manner. The main characteristics were listed according to each model mentioned: the quantum analogue of the multistream model, the kinetic model based on the Wigner equation for the density of quasi-probability of particle distribution in coordinates and momenta and the quantum hydrodynamics model.As example of quantum plasmas a short introduction on Quark-Gluon plasma physics is stated, along with particular design properties of the well-known CERN experiments, LHC and ALICE. A description of White Dwarfs is also presented, including a short history on the evolution of research in this area, their behaviour at the theoretical level with and without Coulomb interaction, Chandrasekhar limit and examples of present astronomical observations.A brief presentation of Neutron Stars, Magnetars and the CBM experiment is made. The authors intention was to present important aspects of the field of quantum plasma, even though research on this topic is vast and evolves quickly.
