Abstract
We present simulation results on phase transitions in a fluid system whose interactions depend on internal quantum states: they are ‘‘turned on’’ when the molecules are in a hybrid state. Surprisingly, a simple effective temperature-dependent classical potential describes well many features of the transition.Keywords
