The quantum effects on the polarization momentum transport scatterings are investigated in partially ionized dense hydrogen plasmas. The partial wave analysis is applied to represent the electron-atom polarization momentum transport cross section as a function of the de Broglie wavelength, Debye length, collision energy, and quantum states. The energy dependence of the scattering phase shift is found to be important for the small de Broglie wavelength domain. It is important to note that the quantum effects increase the polarization momentum transport cross section.
