Abstract

We develop a so-called theory of ensembles in phase space and use it to investigate the construction of a quantum-classical hybrid theory. We use Galilei covariance and the Lie algebra of the Galilei group as a guide to constructing the hybrid model presented here. In particular, we chose the interaction term between the classical and the quantum sector so that the equations are Galilei covariant. Our approach points out a possible connection between two previously unrelated hybrid systems.
