Wigner’s jellium is a model for a gas of electrons. The model consists of
particles with negative unit charge in a sea of neutralizing homogeneous
positive charge spread out according to Lebesgue measure, and interactions are
governed by the Coulomb potential. We consider the quantum jellium on
quasi-one-dimensional spaces with Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics. Using the
Feynman–Kac representation, we replace particle locations with Brownian
bridges. We then adapt the approach of Leblé and Serfaty (2017) to prove a
process-level large deviation principle for the empirical fields of the Brownian
bridges.
