description

We study the quantum dynamics of a generic model fluid with internal quantum states and classical translational degrees of freedom in two spatial dimensions. The path integral Monte Carlo data for the imaginary time correlation functions are presented and analyzed by the maximum entropy method. A comparison of the frequency distribution with those of a mean field approximation and virial expansion shows good agreement at high and low densities, respectively. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
